As one of 7 kids, my siblings are a constant resource. I’ve learned relationship building with them and find connection to my past. They represent who I could be, who I was, and provide contrast for the person I hope to become. Not to mention that they are an endless source of information: a lawyer, a Ph.D, a dentist, an arborist, a finance girlie, artists, fitness enthusiasts, and more. My siblings live in Louisiana, the Carolinas, and Florida.

After living in Spain for two years, I forged some very powerful relationship. These are the only friends I’ve ever spent thanksgiving with and people who connect me to a previous phase in my life. I know that I will always have a place to stay with them

My uncle is a social worker and a huge source of inspiration and information encouraging me to pursue the field of social work. He’s someone I admire and a reason that I’m here today. This is Uncle John and Aunt Barbara

An absolute baddie. Grandma Carol is cool as all get out. She decorated her house and volunteered when the United Methodist Church reversed the ban on gay marriage for clergy as well as being my biggest ally around my parents.
