I am very passionate about recycling, as well as habitat conservation!

Why did you choose MSP?

I am very grateful to have attended schools that have always had a humanistic approach with a focus on self-actualization. MSP seems like the perfect fit for me academically and personally by continuing to develop my passion for helping myself and others.

What do you want to do with your degree?

I currently work with recovering addicts which I have grown to love. I want to help troubled adults in need, with a focus on compassion and productivity. I am very flexible and confident in whatever path continues my passion for helping people.

How did you first get interested in the mental health profession?

I have been in a place where I needed help from professionals and I have seen staff members of all different sorts either show compassion or a lack of. I hope to continue to be a productive advocate and member in my mental-health-focused career.
