About
I live in beautiful central oregon currently working as a paid support worker for individuals with intellectual/developmental disorders. I am a non-traditional student that takes courses purely online at GCU. My goal is to become a counselor for these individuals but I have also developed an interest in guidance counseling as well due to the guidance my counselor has given me as well as a passion for my peers that I have developed over the course of taking classes. I am unsure which course I will take, but I know that I want to help people with their issues and help them overcome their struggles.
