Summary
Having recently navigated a major career transition and pursuing Professional Licensure in Counseling, I'm excited about the opportunity to add strength to environments that are invested in the well being of others. I've come from a vocational ministry background which was largely focused on benefiting the community outside of the Church, building and running projects that served individuals coming from trauma backgrounds. As a natural "Pastor" of people I've come to appreciate the journey of others and the role I can play to add strength and empathy to those I have the opportunity to connect with and serve.
