It isn’t the same thing every day. I am on the island (Bay Lake Retreat Center) right now and never know what I am going to be doing when I get there.

Getting in the schools to work with kids and help them with any struggles they may have is something I look forward to. I am excited to be a positive figure in their lives.

All the staff I have met at Northern Pines have all been super kind and supportive towards me. I am thankful for the relationships I have made so far. There is a good support system for when I have questions. Northern Pines is flexible with scheduling and there is no worry about getting a day off if I need it. They are very understanding and helpful in every aspect of my job.

In my free time, I like to hangout with my friends and family. I like to go shopping, cooking, and biking or anything outside that keeps me active.
