Helping others without judgement.

What most inspires you on a personal level?

Coming from a family that has experienced substance use disorder, I want to learn to have a better understanding and do what I can do to help others.

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

My favorite place to be in Maine is the blueberry barrens near my house. Endless open dirt roads, many memories, and all the best swimming spots! No worrying!
