Summary
I'm extremely passionate about the role of recovery coach. I've been able to foster that desire at 217 where it has grown into a life-long purpose. I truly believe everything I've experienced has put me in a position to help people find the hope I was searching for so long. The gift of recovery is something I try to help people see they deserve for themselves and I believe I'm a model for the positive changes it can bring to our lives. My desire for changing employment is purely to put myself in a position to work with people on a regular basis and have a chance to build relationships and foster change. I'm eager to be involved in Traverse City's already amazing recovery community in a more immersive setting and situation. I'd love an opportunity to grow in this field and watch it unfold as my life's work and direction for as long as I'm able.
