Current Employment: Victim Advocates Reaching Out, Crisis Services Supervisor 

A big part of who I am today is because of the foundation St. Paul has instilled in me. It provided me with the tools I needed to succeed for accomplishing the goals I wanted to achieve later in life. Throughout my time at St. Paul, I was a multi-sport athlete and an active member in the student body. I was able to develop different life skills that prepared me for what was yet to come. As the President of the student body, I built confidence and leadership skills. As an athlete, I learned teamwork, self-discipline, and time management. The education and knowledge I gained helped me to be successful in obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work. I learned the importance of honesty and integrity. The values that were shared built my character to help others when in need. I am successful because I was prepared.
