I have just recently left my full-time job as a Caseworker for child welfare. While in that position I wore many hats within the adoption and foster care realm. My favorite part of the position was my responsibility with selecting adoptive families for my kiddos and getting the time to work through those thoughts and feelings of adoption with the children through therapeutic activities and games.

With my recent career change, I have been assisting my father at his restaurant he had recently opened in Columbia, PA. While doing this, I'm also working an a community residential rehabilitation program for adults with mental illness.

My goal is to proudly complete my masters degree and obtain the knowledge and experience to become a guidance counselor. I desire to be a source of encouragement and hope for students in a local school district. One day, I dream to earn my doctorate degree and work more clinically with school aged students.

Education to me is an escape. There are so many different things to learn and to grow from. I've been encouraged through education and knowledge to continue moving forward throughout life. I believe education should be available, obtainable, and affordable to everyone. I want to encourage students to find what their niche in the world through explore and studying different subjects.

One of my favorite hobbies is officiating women's lacrosse. I've been able to travel to a lot of different states to work various summer tournaments. During the school year I work the local school districts high school games. While I'm not working or on the lacrosse field, my boyfriend and I can be found at Camden Yards cheering on the Orioles. Even with the orioles unfortunate track record, you will still be able to find us up in the nose bleeds (our favorite seats) with crab fries and a nice cold Baltimore brew.
