About
I am passionate about the field of psychology, and am an advocate for those who live with mental illness. I work as a mental health technician/psychiatric technician at psychiatric hospitals and have great relationships with my patients because I make them feel comfortable and not ashamed of themselves. I'm so passionate about this field because I too know what it feels like to live with mental illness and the stigmas that come with it. I refuse to let others who understand and are going through mental illness battle it on their own, because everyone needs an extra hand from time to time to conquer the silent battles they don't talk about.
