I am learning skills and theories that will help me to create my own style in counseling when I start to work with real-world clients have a better understanding of how to help them.
Why did you choose Fox Valley Technical College?
I chose Fox Valley Tech because I was also in the Starting Point 2.0 program (Starting Point 2.0 is a free skill-building program for women with young children) and they had so much to offer me as a parent of a small child. I started in my first semester shortly after finishing that program and haven't looked back since.

FVTC helped change my life by teaching me to believe in myself and realize there is no wrong time to go back to school to pursue something that you are passionate about.

I am hoping that I will be able to be at a facility helping individuals who struggle with substance use.
