Annika Hutchinson

My passion for anti-bullying initiatives come from my own experiences in high school. I empathize with the heart-wrenching effects that kids experience not only physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The journey for me started with a prophecy at church. Soon after, I was encouraged by co-workers to volunteer with an organization, and I became State Director of Bully Police IN. We collaborated with a handful of other organizations to implement HB 1423, an anti-bullying law in the state of Indiana to better protect our children.
