What initially drew you to work in the non profit sector ? I always knew that I wanted to be in a helping profession working with underserved kids and families in some capacity. Then I accidentally stumbled upon the child life profession and the rest is history…

My story is very similar to yours. I knew that I wanted to help and do something that made me feel good at the end of the day so here I am.

I kinda just fell into it. I was working in the private center for a while and this job opened up and it sounded like an amazing opportunity for growth and to be of service so it wasn’t something I sought out, but it kind of found me if that makes sense.
