“Someone once told me that there are jobs, careers and callings. As I look back at my life experiences, I feel that those experiences “called” me to work with individuals who struggle with addiction and mental health challenges. I see it as a privilege to be a part of someone’s journey on their path to recovery, and improving the quality of their life.”
