Went straight to grad school for a counseling degree at Missio Seminary. While I was getting my degree, I interned at an alternative school as a day treatment counselor

Moved to Charlottesville, VA after grad school for an in-home counseling job

I love animals and have a cat named Belle (pictured below)

After a year of in-home counseling, I wanted to step away and reevaluate what kind of counseling I wanted to do because in-home didn't feel like the right fit. Took what I thought would be a temporary job at a coffee shop, and then got sucked into the business and helped run a coffee shop for two years.

After all the random career detours, and relocating, I miss the counseling field and I'm redirecting myself back into it. I realized the kind of counseling I want to do most is school counseling.

Decided to move back to Philadelphia to be near my family and took a job with Crate and Barrel.  I currently work for them and do visual merchandising for their King of Prussia store.

I ended up saying goodbye to the coffee world because I was randomly recruited to become a visual merchandiser with L.L. Bean (my life has never been typical, you can't script this stuff).
