My Undergraduate Degree is a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from Adams State University. I did the majority of my study in the arts as a theatre major, but was also drawn to sociology. Up until the summer of 2020, I worked primarily as a civil servant in the public works department of my town. I helped keep Colorado’s parks and facilities clean and the irrigation running. I found my passion for counseling when I began work at a local crisis center. While there, I met many people struggling with substance use and other mental health problems and found that it was incredibly gratifying to help them.
