Something I do outside of work:  I enjoy being curled up on my couch drinking coffee and watching TV, being with my kids and the people I love. I am also currently going to college as well! 

Why I do what I do: I believe that everyone, no matter how lost and broken, no matter their past and the choices they've made in it, deserve the chance to be happy, healthy, back in control of their future. I wouldn't have had that chance or have known how to get where I am today without the love and support of people who had been through it before me. Today, I get to be a person and a parent that my kids, friends, and family are proud of. 

 I meet people every day, begging for a better life with no idea where to start or how to get there. I do what I do to give hope to those people and to be there to walk beside them down that path of change, whatever that may look like for them!
