Professional Background

Education
North central University, Master of Arts, Marriage and Family Therapy — I have my masters in marriage and family therapy. With a specialty in adolescent development.
Work HistoryI have owned my own Daycare business and worked at Providence St. Vincent hospital as a telemetry technician on the cardiac floor. During my time working in the hospital, I delt with a lot of family dynamics and young adults with drug addiction. Which is what lead them to cardiac issues. I learned while working in the hospital that mental health patients do not get the help that they need. If they did, they would not end up with as many physical health issues as the currently do. Also, while running my daycare, I learned just how common and how many children come from broken homes and really do not know how to cope with it. That is when I made the decision to get my masters in marriage and family therapy. That way I can still make a difference and yet help all ages including children have a better future then what they currently have.
