About
I Have Displayed Leadership and How I Am Making a Difference
Leadership in my life has always been rooted in service, consistency, and the commitment to uplift others. I have displayed leadership through more than 35 years of ministry, outreach, and community advocacy, where I have guided men and families through addiction recovery, homelessness, trauma, and major life transitions. As the founder and leader of a men’s support ministry in Allentown, I provide weekly fellowship, meals, employment assistance, and emotional guidance. I create a safe space where men can be honest, supported, and encouraged to rebuild their lives. This work requires patience, integrity, and the ability to inspire hope in people who often feel forgotten.
Professionally, I demonstrate leadership as a Behavioral Health Technician at Treatment Trends. I support clients through intake, documentation, crisis‑informed care, and daily recovery needs. My calm presence, empathy, and accountability help clients

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My academic work in psychology is deeply connected to my purpose and the mission I have carried for more than 35 years: empowering individuals battling addiction, homelessness, trauma, and emotional hardship. Every course I complete at Walden University strengthens the work I already do daily as a Behavioral Health Technician, ministry leader, program developer, and advocate in the Allentown community.
Studying substance‑abuse psychology gives me the scientific foundation to understand the behaviors, challenges, and recovery needs of the men and families I serve. It allows me to combine professional training with lived experience, creating a more informed, compassionate, and effective approach to outreach. My long‑term goal is to expand my men’s support ministry into a fully established nonprofit offering counseling, employment support, meals, and community programming
. Completing my degree equips me to design evidence‑based programs, write stronger grants, collaborate with local agencies, and provide ethical, trauma‑informed care. Education is not just a personal achievement for me — it is a tool that increases my impact, credibility, and ability to change lives. My studies directly support my calling to serve, uplift, and build pathways of hope for those who feel forgotten.
