dr. mary anne jones for encouraging me for the step of faith, and my parents, backbone i have ever had and supporting me every way, and my husband in his absence, the encouragement and support i needed it most to follow my dreams of becoming a clinician. i have gained so many lessons and experiences as a part of the mo magic collaborative, slept in hospitals with young mothers who have given birth, unfortunately been to funerals, courtrooms as advocate, jail visits, and responded to way too many late night crisis situations to count. i have also attended g graduations. i met my husband through my work at mo magic, and have two beautiful rambunctious boys. my heart is humbled at the honor i feel in my heart god has called me to do. full of gratitude for the opportunities i never would have had anywhere else, such as working with the elite and top officials, as well as being a part of the most amazing team at collective impact, including alongside my two life savers, rika and james, and the work mo magic will continue and i believe god has for me in the career of mental health. thank you to
