What began as a passion project has evolved into something more.

A woman with dark hair, wearing a red top and holding a microphone, presenting a slide on supervision requirements for counselors in Louisiana, projected on a screen in a conference room.

A classmate of mine approached our favorite professor and asked him to help us present at the Winter 2019 Terrell Conference at Southeastern Louisiana University. Once we prepared the topic, “Ethical Practices in Supervision and the Importance of the Supervisory Relationship,” my professor asked if we would also submit a similar, shorter topic to the Spring 2020 Law and Ethics in Counseling Conference. From there, my joy of speaking was ignited.

If you are interested in requesting me to presenting a topic no matter how small the group is please contact me.‍ ‍
