Summary
I pride myself on having a lot of lived experience in recovery. I seek to expand this experience and my education. Working as an Outreach worker has been a blessing and a great starting point for doing for the less fortunate. I want to work for a quality organization and be an asset to the work of helping others with their issues whatever they could be.
