Alexa, what prompted you to join the Healthy Acadia team?

It’s a great opportunity to help people in my community.

What most inspires you about Healthy Acadia's work and your new role? 

What inspires me is how much open-arms support is offered in all ways without judgment. Everyone matters, and Healthy Acadia makes that show. As a MRC Recovery Coach Intern with Healthy Acadia and True Connections, I provide support, guidance, and accountability to individuals in recovery from addiction. I help break down barriers so a recoveree can achieve their goals in life and succeed in their sobriety. I offer a non-clinical approach, focusing on strengths and helping individuals with a plan to recovery.

What most inspires you on a personal level?

Helping others, being creative, and cooking!

What is your favorite thing to do, or place to be, in Maine, and why?

My favorite place to be in by the water, It brings me an inner peace.
