About
Octavia Jones, 36-year-old resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, a I'm dedicated psychology student at Capella University. I'm a parent of two beautiful children. I balance my academic pursuits with family life, driven by a deep passion for helping others. My ultimate career goal is to counsel young people who have experienced trauma, providing them with the support and guidance they need to heal and thrive. With a strong commitment to mental health advocacy and a focus on trauma-informed care, I'm working toward making a meaningful impact in the lives of those who need it most.
