I am school currently because I am looking to help those in need with their struggles with addiction/recovery. I lost my little sister to an addiction related health issue and I know she would want me to help those who struggled like she did.

I am very outgoing individual who can have a discussion with anyone. I’m very adaptable to each situation or personality I encounter.

For me, I learn best when being thrown into the fire. I find it easier that way.

I’m a great problem solver, analytical, customer service professional, and great at running businesses.

• What skills do you want to improve upon or learn?

I would love to improve my emotional intelligence as a whole.

• What are your interests and hobbies?

I love to create different food items via baking and cooking. I also enjoy the outdoors during the Summer. Fishing, hiking, kayaking, etc…

• What problems would you like to address in the world?

Addiction. I want to take on the factors that drive it. I want to rid the world of those who push the things that addict people for profit.

• Where do you envision yourself in five years?

Having my own practice helping those in need of help with their addiction. Hopefully on my way to being well renowned.

• Which of the programmatic course themes is most relevant to your career or goals for personal growth?
  • Self-care
  • Social justice
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Career connections
  • Ethics

I believe emotional intelligence is the most relevant to my career. In order to help others I must first be able to control my emotions, show them properly, and help others with theirs. If I’m not emotionally intelligent I cannot help anyone.

Remember to respond to two peers while being respectful of and sensitive to their viewpoints. Consider advancing the discussion in the following ways:

• Engage in conversation with your peers around their bios. Consider asking a question or sharing similarities about yourself.
• Discuss with peers how EI will play a part in your actualization of goals and self.
