I am a 46 year old wife, mother of twins and new graduate student. I have worked for the same community mental health for 25 years. I have held multiple positions within the company. Currently I am a Child and Family Therapist for our therapeutic foster care program. I am able to provide this service due to my years of experience. I decided to return to school because I have always felt a need for a better foundation, because my co-worker (most of are half my age) have their Masters degrees and because I will be able to make more money, which will help me with my future plans/goals. I was diagnosed with Diabetes when my kids were five. Management of my Diabetes has always been a struggle. So, my primary goal of this change in eating is to get a handle on something that I have ignored in the past. Weight loss will be a motivator as well. IF I have any free time I enjoy crochet, reading and spending time with my kids.
