I joined the helpline as an intern - and am now a per diem resource specialist. My life has been dedicated to helping others throughout the social work community, in various ways, through counseling, case management, and much more. I graduated with my Masters of Science in Social Work with Psychosocial Oncology Specialization. I plan to obtain my LCSW to further grow as a social worker. I enjoy my spare time spending It with my family - my nieces and nephews, being outside, and most of all time with my cat and dog, Milo and Otis.
