I aspire to be the voice for those who cannot speak or stand up for themselves. I believe in fairness, equality, love, and compassion for all individuals. What matters most to me is the equal love we share as human beings. This perspective has always been part of who I am, reinforcing my belief that a career in Health and Human Services is the perfect path for me.
I discovered Herzing University while scrolling through social media during my office break. I had wanted to return to school, but fear of failure had held me back. However, when I came across a video from Herzing, I felt a divine calling—as if God was urging me to enroll. I took that leap of faith and embarked on a journey that challenged me in unexpected ways.
Many late nights were spent submitting discussions and mastering the formatting required for college writing, which was new to me. Fortunately, Herzing's flexible approach allowed me to work at my own pace and on my own schedule.
I never second-guessed my decision. From day one, the entire staff welcomed me and instilled confidence in my choice to pursue my degree. I can’t thank them enough—they were truly fantastic!
My advice to anyone reading this is simple: if you feel a calling, embrace it. People out there need a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, and a listening ear. Be the hero, be the hope, and be the one who can say, “I made a difference and will continue to do so.”
I’m excited to follow that advice in my career moving forward. Here’s to the future!
