- What made you want to pursue counseling and/or career counseling?
After teaching high school for five years, I was exhausted and wanted to explore my career options. Although I enjoyed my time in the classroom, I really valued my one-on-one interactions with my students. This prompted me to look into counseling as a potential career change. - In terms of career counseling here at Texas State, what are your focus areas?
I’m still learning! I’m taking this time to purposefully not have a focus so I can explore different areas. - What is your favorite type of music?
I love classic rock. But a guilty pleasure would be pop--some songs are so catchy. - What the best job you’ve had?
I worked in a hospital as a messenger during high school. It was so interesting! I got to take specimens to the lab, bring patients to get x-rays and deliver medications. - What is your favorite type of breakfast food?
I’m a huge fan of a good cheese omelet and hash browns--with lots of ketchup, of course!
This is very educational content and written well for a change.
