About

Hello, I'm a non-traditional student. I'm a mother to an 11-year-old daughter. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 15 years. I have worked with children in multiple settings. While attending Ivy Tech I completed an internship with Head Start with the family advocates. I checked up on families who had a child enrolled in Head Start. I also helped families connect with local resources. I have a passion for social justice and mental health. I'm in the process of earning my BSW.
