About

Little bit about me, I'm a single mom of two wonderful children. I was a Foster parent for almost four years and I love every moment of it. I was able to show the children they are loved, they are safe and I was able to work with the parents on doing what best to be able to get their children back in their homes. I worked with DHS, Attorney's etc. I graduated in the year 2000 and continued my education. I went to South Western Community college and graduated with my Associated Degree in Early Childhood. I'm currently going to Kaplan University to get my Bachelor's in Science Arts in Human Services Child and Welfare. I enjoy working with families and children. I have what it take to show people that they can make a difference in life. I graduated in October 2017.
