While working with children who have complex needs over the last 10 years, she is empathetic and understanding to what people want and need. From this experience, she wanted to further her ability to connect with people, and began her Master’s of Arts in Counselling Psychology. She believes that we all want to be heard, and sometimes we need a little extra help to figure out how we can grow as individuals.
