I love watching the clients learn and grow. It is so rewarding to watch them when they have that ah ha moment and things click for them.

Northern Pines is a great agency to work for. They show true care and compassion for their clients and for their employees. I also like that each day brings new things. I am able to do a variety of things including individual skills, group skills and during the summer I am able to do In-home.

I love spending time with my family. I like to do “all things” outside.
