Profile
A little about me: My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Family and Human Development and a Master of Counseling - both from Arizona State University. Professionally, my previous experiences include early childhood development and non-profit work. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Arizona. I have worked in both agency and private practice settings as a mental health professional. I am now privileged to be able to serve Mesa Community College as a Counselor and Residential Faculty member at Red Mountain!
