April Ryce is the victim advocate with Cottonwood Heights and she serves the community with wisdom and care. She really knows her stuff and she is willing to put in the effort to help those in need. She spent a great deal of time mentoring me and I could tell by the care she took in this endeavor that she really cares for the job she is doing. She was an excellent mentor and I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in learning to be a victim advocate.
