My Story
My own career path was not what I imagined. Even though I knew early on that I wanted to be a helper, I had no idea of the vast amount of choices and paths that I would discover. Additionally, even once I had clear goals, external circumstances created detours and challenges that I had not foreseen. It was with these experiences - coupled with my training, education, experience, and research - that made me passionate about empowering others in overcoming their obstacles.
