My Passion for the Mission
I see that underserved communities and marginalized individuals are becoming less of a priority in our country. Because of this, I believe I must be the change I want to see in order to improve the lives and conditions of those who are often forgotten. As a helping professional, this work is central to my mission of serving others.
