Summary

Working side by side with people who are suffering and in need was something I have wanted to do since I was 5 years old. When I was asked, What do you want to do when you grow up, My answer never changed...I just want to help people. I have survived more that any one person should ever have to experience in lifetime but, I was all for a reason. My path has always been to take my lived experiences and help those who are suffering. To me, in helping others heal, I heal too.
