What drew you to The Rowan Center?

I found out about the agency through one of their former counselors in 2017. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to follow her footsteps and help others, especially when it came to survivors of assault.

What keeps you at The Rowan Center?

I have stayed with The Rowan Center because I have been able to learn so much about how to help people in times of need. It’s a career I want to pursue, so it has given me a great stepping stone.

What do you wish people knew about The Rowan Center? 

The Rowan Center is a place where anyone who needs it can get help. Once you come out of it, you will realize how you are more than what you have experienced.

What are your hobbies?

Going on scenic walks and journaling.

What is something you are learning?

I am currently learning more about how to put myself out there!
