About
I started this second journey in college back in 2020 at Flathead Community College after a 25-year hiatus. I will be completing my Licensed Addiction Counselor Associates degree in May 2023 from FVCC. In the Fall of 2021, I enrolled in the 2+2 program at the University of Montana for a bachelor's in social work. I will be graduating in May 2023.
I intend to enroll in UM Masters of Social Work in the Fall of 2023 with a focus on policy and legislation. My passion is to smash the stigma on mental health and substance abuse working on the macro level of community-wide change in behavioral health.
