Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

I became a mental health professional because I believe in change and desire to be a direct contributing factor to positive change. I care, and am grateful and honored to promote wellness.

What are your interests outside of work?

Family, music, learning, and nature. I’m interested in persistently developing new interests, learning new things, enjoying nature, and being pleasantly and simply just being.

Favorite organization/non-profit?

My favorite non-profit organization is Loma Linda University (everything). I have had the opportunity to both be educated and employed by an agency that is grounded on the fundament of wellness for the whole man and is able to reflect its mission in its ongoing commitment to the community and society as a whole.
