About

I have been in the education field going on 11 years. I spent 13 years counseling and mentoring young adults and adolescent children. I have always been dedicated to helping others reach their full potential in all areas of their life. I bring great insight and differentiate strategies to anything I do. I recently received my Masters in Addiction Counseling and will be taking the NCE later this year.
