I am originally from Arkansas and decided to come up here to Oregon once I was pregnant with my boys as I wanted to be closer to my mom. I went to college to be a medical assistant as I love helping others. I worked in urgent care until covid hit and many employees lost their jobs including me. What drew me to addiction/recovery treatment is my own family experiences. Many family members of mine have suffered from drug and alcohol abuse and I could see the pain it caused them and my family. My grandfather lost his life to alcohol and my uncle to drugs. For me, I want to make sure no one if I can help it will have to go through that troubling time. Drug addicts and alcoholics are people and have families too and I just wish everyone could understand that. The stigma on drug addicts and alcoholics is quite unsettling to me. So I want to make a positive influence on all the people I can in my lifetime.
