Biography
I firmly believe that individuals are doing the best that they can at any given point in their lives. The question becomes-are they capable of doing better and achieving more? If so, what is my role/opportunity in helping them on their journey of reaching their maximum potential?
This belief has influenced and guided my professional life as a social worker. In my many roles as a nutritional site manager, direct practitioner, consultant, or instructor/teacher individuals have received respect.
I love teaching and helping students to succeed. They are a diverse, talented, creative, and curious population, who are struggling to find themselves and their place in society.
