What made you want to become a counselor?

“It started as me just wanting to do something in the ministry. I slowly weeded out things I didn’t want to do. I did a bunch of volunteering at places like The University of Florida, a non-profit organization for the homeless, and at church. Through these experiences, I became interested in counseling" (Louis-Pierre).

Achievements:
Chi Sigma Iota Honor Society (Grad)

Graduated High School w/ Associates Degree in Computer Information Systems Analysis
Bachelor's in Computer Science

Bachelor's in Biblical Studies

Dean's List (Undergrad)

1st generation college grad in immigrant family.

Fun fact:
"One of my side hustles is that I own a production company and production/creative studio space. I hope to one day combine that with my private counseling practice and call it ACCESS. A play on words because I want to help provide people with access to mental health services who would not otherwise get it, and also ACCESS is an acronym for A Counseling Center et Studio Space because ACCESS will be, well, a counseling center and studio space!" (Louis-Pierre).

We have created various committees to promote unity among student of the Counselor Education Department that both members and non-members can join and be a part of!

# data[].attributes.body
Members focus on selecting a student within the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program and give recognition to their academic/ scholastic achievements throughout the year.

Members oversee special projects that CSI takes on. Currently, this committee is overseeing the updating of the bulletin board dedicated to the Counselor Education department on the 4th Floor of the Merchandise Mart.

Members put a spotlight on a specific community or neighborhood of Chicago and share with students all the resources which that area has, including career opportunities for counselors and places to receive counseling and other vital information for clients.
