What is your background and what led you to this area of coaching?:Based on my personal experience as a child, I have been engaged with mentors, teachers, and counselors my entire life following the passing of my father at the tender age of 7. I was confused, depressed, and had several insecurities as a young child as a result of this tragedy. I did not know anything about controlling emotions and what it meant to have a sense of emotional intelligence until I started my own healing journey as a young adult. A healthy and safe environment with my mother, siblings, and support system is what carried me to this point today. As I grew into adulthood, I realized my personal growth and development thrived off of me being in tune with my mind, body, and spirit. Coaching and counseling saved my life and I have a heart and passion to help other youth and families through an array of mental health education services.
