How did you get started in homeless services?
- I got my start in homeless services by completing community service with THN for a little over three years. I have been previously homeless in my teenage years here in Austin while I was battling personal issues. I’m currently attending college to complete my associate’s degree in social work.
What did you do before?
- Before THN, I was a server at an IHOP working nightshift.
Complete the sentence: In a parallel life, I would be living on a ranch with my family and lots of gardens.
What was your first job?
- Gas Station clerk
Dog or cat?
- I’m more of a cat person but am in the middle of a dog phase
