Affiliations

  • My passion at work as well as in my personal life has become spreading mental health awareness as well as suicide prevention. I lost a daughter to mental illness in 2011 and that gave me a purpose. I speak at back to school events about mental health and removing the stigma. At work I have been an advocate and educator about this cause. I deliberately have stayed on the front lines at my current position because I believe I have been able to help customers who needed more than just a payment arrangement or to lower the bill. They needed a compassionate ear.
