Summary

As a survivor of domestic abuse and violence with more than 10 years of therapy and self development, I have a passion for helping others.

I would like to put my experience to use by working with other victims who may be stuck in the cycle of domestic abuse.

I think that my experience as an Instructional Assistant has also helped me developed many skills and a vast knowledge of community resources that will also apply.
