Summary

I am a committed and passionate advocate for young people. I have done advocating for children in out-of-home care for 7 years, as I was in foster care myself. I take every opportunity with an open mind and won't take anything for granted. I am honestly grateful for every job I have been in, because I know how hard it is for someone with a physical Disability to find work. I am also studying a Bachelor of Arts degree as an English major, as I want to be editor and author.
