I like that I can be a part of a child’s healing and navigating their place in the world. Every day is different, and every child has unique obstacles. The team I work with is terrific, helpful and full of different perspectives.

The training opportunities are invaluable to continue growth in this profession. I feel supported by my team and supervisors daily. The ability to learn from peers and share my experiences as part of a team.

I like to go hiking and on road trips with my family. Watch my son do all the sports and activities that he’s involved with. I 3D print quite a bit and paint those prints. I also make custom action figures.
