Nursing Background

My nursing career started with an emphasis on gerontology and rehabilitation. Caring for patients facing a range of medical and psychiatric challenges, I acquired crucial skills in patience, empathy, and resilience. These experiences deepened my comprehension of the complex link between physical and mental health. The insights from managing various cases proved priceless. Whether aiding patients in their recovery or offering solace in trying times, my duties were as diverse as they were rewarding. Each patient encounter broadened my grasp of human tenacity in the face of hardship and fueled my passion for mental health counseling.

My Passion for Youth 

My involvement with youth began with engaging in various child and youth ministries at our church and teaching piano. Over time, I advanced to the role of a Ministry Coordinator for Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF). In this capacity, I taught not only children but also instructors, particularly those who found learning challenging. I employed patience and adaptability as my core principles, which allowed me to customize teaching methods to individual learning preferences and requirements. These roles provided me with direct experience in addressing the distinct challenges that today's youth encounter and guiding them through their pivotal years.

Community Service

As a church musician, I find deep connection with my community through music, offering a tranquil ambiance for reflection and worship. This creative role allows me to empathetically engage with diverse individuals, reinforcing our shared bond. Additionally, I lead the Jericho House Transitional Program, creating support systems for women and children facing life's transitions. The aim is empowerment, helping these women to confidently and independently progress without being overwhelmed by external challenges. Both positions afford me the daily privilege of contributing positively to society, whether through uplifting music or programs that foster resilience in vulnerable populations, fueling my dedication to service and empathy.
