Personal Information
I started my career in finance and business insurance as an underwriter and after many successful years in that field went back to school in my late thirties to get a Master’s degree in Counseling and work in human services. I want to better understand the suffering from mental illness and substance use and contribute to the lives of others and I still have this desire to serve.
