“Life is not always what you hope it to be but when you take steps back and realize what is going on, you find out that it is alright to make new decisions.”

Thank you for taking the time to visit my web page. Throughout this page you will learn about my field, my interests and myself. I have created a blog that highlights news, workplace tips, the importance of healthy relationships, and other topics. I am a person who is community oriented, spiritual, positive, independent, hard-working, a lover of people, and a social justice advocate for marginalized groups. I love to travel the world with an open mind, take classes every year to expand my mind, and I take every opportunity I can to learn about new culture. With everything going on in our country and world, I surround myself around people who have a positive outlook on life.
