I hold multiple roles as an Intensive Outpatient Program Coordinator, Prevention Educator, Parenting Class Instructor, and Healthcare Navigator. I earned my Bachelor’s in Sociology from Valdosta State University, as well as a Master’s in Human Services from the University of Arizona Global Campus. At the moment, I’m pursuing a Master’s in Psychology at Grand Canyon University. On top of all that, I’m working toward certification as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor to better serve my community.
As a mother of two boys, ages 10 and 5, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching my kids play sports, reading novels, and doing makeup. Since starting at ATI, it’s become so much easier to balance my education, career, and family. Online courses have been allowing me to manage my busy schedule, while continuing towards my ambition of becoming a counselor.
Once I’m certified as a counselor, my next goal is to become a Licensed Professional Counselor and focus on helping children and adolescents. Guiding them to overcome their challenges, particularly related to substance misuse, is incredibly rewarding. I love that I’m the support I wish I had growing up.
