A Story of Transformation:

Amanda’s Journey

Amanda, a Team Leader at Transform Engine, embodies the determination and resilience of survivors that are typical of our employees. Rescued after being trapped in sexual slavery for 2 years, we witnessed Amanda undergo a profound life transformation into a smart, capable analyst with great leadership qualities. She is a beacon of hope to other survivors who join our team, inspiring them to persevere and have a vision for a better and different life. Amanda has been with Transform Engine for 10 years.

“Despite the bad things that happened in my past – working here showed me that it does not define my future.  I am now able to look forward to a new page of my life”
