About

Sixteen years after going back to school to earn my Chef Certificate, I'm back in school working towards a counseling certificate and a B.A. degree. I'm pursuing something I feel strongly about and it's showing in my words, my thoughts , my actions and my attitudes. I'm a full-throttle alpha personality and I take everything I do seriously. When counseling at-risk youth, it's imperative to build trust in order to have any impact on the growing problem of addiction.

Goals and interests

Career goal

As one who knows first hand the perils of addiction, I'm working towards my C.A.D.C I certificate and eventually my bachelors degree. I'd like one day to open my own Christian addiction counseling practice.

Graduate school interests

I'm leaning towards working with the youth in a pre-emptive effort to growing problem of substance abuse and addiction.

Outside the classroom

I have over twenty years' experience in the food service profession including supervising and administering day-to day operations, front/back of house management, and a high level of culinary expertise. I have a passion for cooking and helping others to become their very best. When I do have any free time I'm usually in the gym, walking around Downtown Portland "people watching" or taking in the occasional movie. I'm also a "Sherlockian"!
