My professional work experience includes many avenues of experiences, included but not limited to; working with the children that are diagnosed with SEDs (seriously emotional disturbed), I worked as a child abuse coordinator, a union negotiator for a union and for a city that negotiated union contracts for its employees, I have taught religion for 12 years, I teach a class at a local college on relationships, I have experiences in understanding the LGBT population because of family ties and work experiences. I obtained my masters degree from Walden University and I am currently licensed as a LPC in the state of Minnesota.
