Back in May 2014, I found myself shadowing my mom at her work. She’s a guidance counselor and works with elementary students. I was inspired watching her work and felt it familiar in a way. She helped every student she saw that day and I have to believe she does this every day.

With that experience and a lot of soul searching, I felt compelled to take a look at my passions. I see my passion for helping others in many capacities, including this blog. I discovered that I want to help others for a living.

With much thought, I focused and narrowed down some options. I thought about my Hyperhidrosis and how I was able to overcome this obstacle in many facets of my life. I thought about how it was challenging, but I was able to adapt.

My passion for helping others overcome such difficulties is what led me to decide to pursue a Master of Science degree in Special Education.

I started as a part-time student this fall. It was a difficult decision to decide to go back to school after already earning a bachelors and masters degree, but I know it was the right decision and have the support of my family and friends. I look forward to the future in this new career!
