Biography
I am a senior and a veteran of the U.S. Army. I am a peer, diagnosed for 30 years after a TBI. I am also a disabled Paramedic/Firefighter. I have been a volunteer with NAMI for over 10 years, and a WRAP facilitator. I have been an NC Certified Peer Support Specialist for 6 years, specializing in trauma and suicide. I am Living Works Asist certified. I have lived experience in a broad range of diagnoses of mental illness. I am currently becoming certified as a peer support specialist for older adults. I have been a facilitator of support groups for over 6 years. I am a great advocate for taking personal responsibility for your care. I believe we all can not only survive our pasts and traumas, but we can thrive! A better quality of life is a right, not a privilege. We all have the right to have full access to the care we need as humans to live.
