Working with clients ages 11-14 (Adolescents) at the Little Falls Community Middle School.

First and foremost, I really enjoy working with the clients and their families. I love the fact that I am able to meet them where they are at and see them grow and connect with themselves and each other. I also enjoy working with everyone on my team and in the schools during the school year.

Working for Northern Pines has been a great experience. I like the fact that I can keep a healthy work/life balance and have a consistent schedule each week. I also like the fact that we are always encouraged to learn more by attending in house trainings and encouraged to go to outside trainings too.

I really enjoy quilting, crafting, and reading in my own time along with attending Minnesota Twins games throughout the baseball season and going to theatre productions throughout the year.
