I have been an advocate for my daughter for seventeen years. She has medical, behavioral and emotional issues. I have worked with psychiatrists, psychologists, and medical doctors for my daughter. We have attended counseling as a family. I have also worked with her teacher’s in her elementary school, middle school and now high school.

Volunteered:
1997-2000
I was a volunteer counselor at Metro Crisis Center. I counseled clients who were depressed and were contemplating suicide. I counseled clients who suffered from mental illness who called on a regularly basis. Many had no money to see a medical physician. I helped put grocery boxes together for female clients who had children. I found it rewarding knowing I made a difference in people’s lives.

I also worked directly with the clients at the Cascade Aids Project once a week. I helped clients by taking them grocery shopping and listening when they just needed someone. The clients were all ages and at different socio-economic levels.
