"I have been a dating coach for over 15 years. A few years ago she realized that my

clients don't have the same horror stories as other people I talk to do because

I bake safety into their dating training. A year ago in the same 24 hour period

I heard from two friends that their children had just experienced horrific

sexual assault... gang rape on a young gay man naively picking up someone for a

1st date on tinder and the rape of my friend's daughter hosting a dinner on a

second date while my friend was in the house. In both of these instances when I

heard the circumstances I KNEW that these horrible assaults could have been

prevented if these young people had only had the skills and tools I teach to

date safely online. From there I created Swipe Safely, the first course aimed

at increasing internet dating safety. It is now my mission to make people safer

dating online."
