Summary

After obtaining a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Sociology, I found myself drawn to the field of counseling due to my desire to help others and make a positive impact within their lives. From working as a telemetry tech to serving as a residential coordinator, I feel I have developed great rapport with others and invaluable interpersonal skills. I am confident in my ability to embody the virtues expected of professional counselors and adhere to the established ethical guidelines.
