SeniorLAW Center

Mariel Lorenz

PAVE Supervisor, Victim Services

WHAT DO YOU DO AT SENIORLAW CENTER?

I supervise the newly acquired Providing Advocacy for Victimized Elders (PAVE) team.

WHY DO YOU WORK AT SENIORLAW CENTER?

SeniorLAW Center’s mission is vital in not just seeking justice for older adults individually, but also better the systems they have to navigate. I find fulfillment being part of an expanded team that will connect older adults who have been impacted by crime or abuse to services and supports that will help them feel seen, empowered, and respected.
