Bio 

I was a teacher for 12 years before joining Active Duty as a Behavioral Health Tech. I was stationed at Fort Bliss for 4 years and deployed to Afghanistan in 2015. I was then stationed at JBSA, Fort Sam Houston in the Fall of 2016 and became the NCOIC of the Addictions Medicine Intensive Outpatient Program. The program did not exist at the time, so I was tasked alongside a Major who was a social worker to begin building this clinic from scratch such as creating programming, dealing with logistics, scheduling and so many other tasks that require building a clinical program. I learned a lot of what happens behind the scenes dealing with many stakeholders while putting the program together. Unfortunately, I had to go through the MEB process which I did not want, but it was for the best and medically retired in February 2018. I was then hired as a civilian to be a psychology tech which is equivalent to the Army MOS I was already doing and worked in the clinic I actually created at Fort Sam. I resigned in Sept. 2020 due to having to attend to my internship hours for my Master's degree in Social Work and received my MSW degree in March 2021. I am currently studying for the LMSW exam.
