My personal goals include growing in cultural competence and sensitivity, that I may holistically evolve in my understanding of the world around me.

It is my personal philosophy that one may only grow as far as their level of exposure.  The growth anticipated will facilitate my ability to relate better to myself, my community and the individuals I serve.
