Summary
I have Knowledge of the Disease of Addiction because I lived it for many years. But threw hard work and determination and support I was able to overcome and Help others with my experience. I have great communication skills and I have a passion for the field of recovery. I have had success in helping many women I have mentored and have knowledge in NA and AA and other treatment avenues. I understand that not all people will use the same recovery method so i have no biases in that matter. I pride myself in being a good employee and being responsible, reliable and openhanded. I will always represent myself with integrity and respectfulness to everyone. I am currently working on my bachelors in human services and strive to be an addictions counselor in the future. Working in recovery isn't just a job to me. I feel like its what im supposed to do and I love being apart of helping others to transform their lives.
