I have held a passion for helping others as long as I can remember. My social services career began while I was still working towards my Bachelor of Psychology degree from the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. After graduating in 2002, I made my way to the south. I began to grow professionally while living in the Tampa Bay, Florida region, where I worked in the mental health, medical, and education fields for 13 years. During my years in Florida, I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of South Florida in 2013. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and clients with different ethnicities and backgrounds.
