Counseling and Development Specialist IV, Coordinator of HelpLine

Personal Statement:
My strongest professional interests include working with volunteers, crisis intervention, and sexual assault. As the HelpLine Coordinator, I believe I have one of the most interesting and rewarding positions on staff. I believe our volunteers are invaluable resources that fill a crucial need for our agency and the community at large. As a member of the Class of '93, it is very important to me to work in a department dedicated to helping students at Texas A&M University. Personally, I love to laugh, travel, gamble and spend time with my friends and family.
