I recently graduated with my bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Addiction Counseling from Ashland University. I am in recovery myself, 7 years, so helping other people struggling with substance use disorder is my life's ambition. I currently have my CDCA-II but have applied for my LCDC-III and have conditional approval, pending the exam being completed shortly. I also recently started the courses to be a Certified Grief Counselor as well. I currently hold my QMHS certification as well. I want to work in an environment that allows me to help those struggling with addiction while furthering my knowledge of the disease of addiction. I have a 4.0 GPA at Ashland University. I have my Medicaid provider number as well as my NPI.
