Professional info
Many have shared with me that I have accomplished more in my life than they could have. I have a drive to see people experience the sense of wonder and "I could do that!" Empowering others to reach for their own goals makes my heart sing. I have worked in the Non-profit sector, in the government, and in multiple prestigious offices in my career. These experiences and the associated training have been invaluable and I enjoy being able to assist others by learning along side them.
