About

I am a 32 year old mother of two. I decided to go back to school after receiving an injury that caused some mobility issues in my dominant arm. My previous job experience was all in hotel management or store management atmospheres. I am currently enrolled as a psychology major and hope to be able to counsel children in a crisis setting. Being able to give back to the community and help others in this way especially children would be extremely fulfilling.
