While working at summer camps and community centers in my early twenties, and building the trust of all the youth from many different backgrounds, I knew then that I could make long-lasting positive impressions on their lives. Spending over 15 years in leadership positions at universities, community colleges, Job Corps, government, human services, my own life experiences have allowed me to help influence youth to take on the challenge of improving their life skills. Today, I like to focus on the youth that are the most difficult to influence and resistent change!
