Goals and interests

Career goal

I am already a licensed professional counselor. My license also includes teaching other counselors to be counselors. My job path is to teach in higher education but to also use my non profit to offer mental health services to those who can't afford it and don't have insurance. I want to go into the community, into the homes and offer the service to them because many struggle with transportation but desperately need mental health services.

Graduate school interests

I am currently in the doctoral program at Capella University. I am in the dissertation face. I am currently doing revisions and will move on to defense. I would like to hopefully one day come back and teach.

Outside the classroom
