About
I have changed career paths moving from laboratory management to substance abuse counseling. I am a non traditional students, since this is the first time I have been to college in 30 years, while it has been challenging; it has been very rewarding. I am a single father of two daughters, full time student, and a full time caregiver of my 84 year old father. The COVID issues have affected me personally. My daughter has been quarantined, as she is an essential worker, and is exposed to the public. I am responsible for all day to day responsibilities for my father, as he is considered high risk.
