Summary

I'm a wife, mom of four, and child of God pursuing a Masters in School Counseling + Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. I believe past and present experiences contributed towards future endeavors. Time as a hairstylist and esthetician strengthened skills in client communication while providing personalized care, and fostering long-lasting relationships. Time as an ABA therapist expanded knowledge and skillset working alongside children, and children with special needs. In addition, coaching youth baseball and softball, as well as responsibilities as the Ministry Associate in Northview Kids at Northview Church Marion.
