After graduating from Georgia I moved to Spartanburg, South Carolina where I worked at SAFE Homes-Rape Crisis Coalition as a victim advocate. I worked with women and children who were survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault (I did so many things while there it is too many to name in a short description). I worked at SHRCC for almost three years when I decided to go back to school to get my Masters.

I attended the University of South Carolina in the Social Work program. While at USC I was a student intern for SHRCC as a therapist working with women and children survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence and The Children's Advocacy Center working with children who were survivors of sexual assault.

After graduation I got my South Carolina Social Work License and became a LMSW. I was hired by Greenville Mental Health as a school based counselor. I worked in the schools, providing therapy for children who were clients of Greenville Mental Health. This included working with parents, teachers, and administrators in assisting children reach their goals. I also worked with coordinating summer camps at Greenville Mental Health, as well as, group and individual therapy. I worked there for about two years, when I adopted my son.

Soon after my son was born I accepted a job with Hospice of the Carolina Foothills. I am a medical social worker. Most people say, what is that? Well, I do a little bit of everything. I work with terminally ill patients, their families, and (if they are in a facility) the facility staff. Assessing needs of the patient and family. Assessing and monitoring emotional and mental status. Also, assisting with finding resources that best meet the needs of the patient and family. I have been with Hospice for about 16 months.
