As a woman with a background of domestic violence, I did not know where my path was headed. My counselor Chase from MBI health services kept encouraging me to continue forward and that I was doing great. Also, Alisha from the human center and my housing director kept encouraging me. Through Alisha, I met Bobby May from Goodwill. From Bobby May, I met Rudy and that's when my journey as a harm reduction specialist began. Ever though as a child, I knew I always wanted to help the next person. I came to class nervous but determined, and I met some wonderful teachers and co-workers. I will always take them into my heart and pray that our roads cross again.
