>> I came to Temple on a track scholarship.
I was bio pre-med and chemistry wasn't my friend.
So then I switched to psychology.
And then I got a counseling job at a youth detention center where I did drug
and alcohol counseling for two years.
And then after that I did- I was a lead case manager for families that-
that the head of household couldn't work.
And then I went back to get my masters here at Temple, public health.
At that time it was a budding degree, there were only about three or four schools
in the city that was offering the program.
And I really enjoyed, really liked it.
I've worked as a program manager for a pregnant and parenting youth program for getting a GED.
And then had to be pregnant or have a child under 6.
I was a Director of Child, Youth, and Family Services also
at a non-profit, a local non-profit.
And I oversaw all of the out of school time programs.
So summer camp, after school program, there were some leadership programs.
Just all things to support the student.
Our- Our mission, life mission statement that, you know,
want to empower students beyond their own expectations
and help parents be a better parent.
