I was born and raised in Arizona, being in Wickenburg since the 3rd grade. I joined the Gatehouse Team in January of 2004 as an Academic Assistant for the Education Department. Some of my hobbies include: 4-Wheeling in the Arizona desert, spending time with family and friends, and scrapbooking. Having alcoholism in my family, I am amazed how the residents can grow and change into a life of sobriety. Seeing their family members with the glimpse of hope for a new life for their child is truly touching. My employment at Gatehouse has been truly rewarding in many ways, I am always learning something new and meeting new people from new places.
