Paige Norton

Paige Norton is a well-known advocate, revered as a passionate voice in prison and criminal-justice reform. Since August 18, 2019, Paige has focused her time advocating for victims of crime, for those incarcerated, for staff who are an asset to rehabilitation, for taxpayers, and all of society.
Paige works hand in hand with elected officials committed to common sense legislation and serves on stakeholder boards with both the Utah Department of Corrections (UDOC) and the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole (BOPP). Paige is a powerful public speaker. She teaches others how to advocate for what they are passionate about in their sphere of influence. While Paige cares deeply about advocating for those who have no voice, her greatest love is her husband, Chris, and their family. |

To the rest of the world, Michael Ikahihifo is a marketing specialist, sales, guru, communications expert, and brand strategist. As for "Paige Norton Advocate", Michael has been nothing short of a miracle! It is not an exaggeration to say that without Michael and his team, Paige Norton Advocate would not have a voice throughout Utah, the United States, and the world.
After earning his degree, Michael transitioned to a very successful career in journalism. In 2018, he founded a marketing agency, Ika Social, that grew so quickly he was able to pursue marketing full-time by 2020. He has for years leveraged door-to-door sales to expand his business ventures, recently transitioning to a new breed of sales - insurance. Michael's heart of gold and immense generosity has been an answer to prayer. |
sandra bytendorp

Sandra Bytendorp has been an incredible asset to the Paige Norton Advocate organization! While many have offered help, Sandra has followed through with that offer spending countless hours volunteering her time to help forward the work.
When Sandra isn't serving those incarcerated and their loved ones, she is working as a project manager and continuing her education. She is also a mother and - just recently - a grandma! Sandra's organizational skills are a tremendous asset to our organization and we would be lost without her! |

Lanna Waisath plays a unique role in the Paige Norton Advocate organization. Her love, compassion, and thoughtful nature help ground the chaotic nature of this work!
Lanna is a master with words and a healer of hearts.

Lanna has been a source of support and strength since day one. We are so grateful for her! Lanna is a professional hairstylist. She is the mother of one son and the grandma of his son. |
