Current or most recent title and employer?
Clinical Coordinator, Port Huron Odyssey House
How did SC4 help prepare you?
I returned to school as a non-traditional student in 2010. SC4 gave me a chance to get back on track and develop confidence in order to believe in myself and my ability to accomplish my goals.
What do you like most about what you do professionally?
Guiding others as they work to overcome their struggles. I also enjoy using my lived experience with a substance use disorder to reduce stigma when working with community leaders and to demonstrate that change is possible.
Did you transfer on and earn other degrees? If so, what degrees and from where?
I transferred to UM-Flint and earned a bachelor’s in psychology with a substance abuse treatment minor. I then earned a master’s in psychology at Montana State University-Billings and then a master’s in clinical mental health counseling at Walden University.
