About
I am currently enrolled in the Master of Social Work program at the University of Southern Indiana and I will graduate in May 2017. I graduated with my Bachelor of Social Work in May 2015. I currently work full-time at the Egyptian Health Department as a Substance Abuse Counselor and I also work on the Crisis team. I am certified in Adult Mental Health First Aid, Youth Mental Health First Aid, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), CAT/CSPI-Crisis Assessment Tool/Childhood Severity of Psychiatric Illness and CPR. My hobbies include ranch sorting(qualified for NSCHA World Finals 2015), trail riding, team penning, trapshooting, hunting and being outdoors in general.
