Summary

Following High School and deciding to bypass college for work in various fields before finding landscaping to be my "temporary calling". I had aspirations of being a commercial airline pilot and was using my earnings fro landscaping to do so. I received a diagnosis that prevents me from being a pilot, but I feel the journey to get there and back gives me some qualification to be faced with kids adjusting their entire lives in the hopes of being happy.

Since moving home I have returned to the field in which I have the most experience, however I feel a career change is a good place to start considering my academic aspirations.

Additional Information

I feel as though my personal experiences being in a residential treatment facility give me a unique and firsthand account of what it is to be able to grow and become the best version of yourself. Spending over one year in a program was incredibly difficult and I feel being able to help an adolescent through these hurdles and get to the other side is something I would feel very privileged to be a part of.
