A Little Bit About Me
"I am a person just like my clients and I will never challenge them to do something I would not be willing to do myself. We all have the same or similar basic needs and no matter the differing circumstances, we will always have this in common. I entered this field with the intent of serving an underserved population and supporting those that need validation and often a voice. I have a family with teenagers which are my life. We are a military family and have gained many challenging, but priceless experiences through our journey. When I'm not spending time with my family I enjoy volunteering in the community, daily exercise, paddle boarding, and thrifting."
