About

I am a single mother to a wonderful 3-year-old little boy. I work full-time for a nonprofit mental health organization, and I have the privilege of working with children. I am also a full-time student, pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Social Work. My son was adopted from DHS; that is what led me to go back to college and obtain my Social Work degree. I am the first in my family to complete high school and to go to college. I want to obtain this degree for myself, my son, and the rest of the children out there. I am determined to obtain this degree.
