Why did you select your profession? I knew I wanted to work in providing a safe space for children who didn’t have the support to help them through life’s challenges. Breaking the chains of abuse, oppression and injustice is part of my job and in my volunteer service. I get to live out my dream and impact the lives of others.

What advice would you give your 22-year-old self? Live it up; life goes so quickly. Before you know it, it’s years later and you’re left to wonder where the time went.

Is your career arc moving fast enough? Why or why not? Some days are like the speed of light, while others seem not so. I work with a great team and have amazing supports in my life. I am thankful for such hardworking, dedicated people who make each day the best it can be for those we help and for balance at the end of the day. •
