Why are you excited about Ardent Grove?
I believe whole-heartedly in the mission and vision of Ardent Grove Foundation. First, being able to offer low-cost, high-quality therapy for those in need is a gap that can be tricky to fill - and they do. Second, the training that students receive through the agency is top notch and their students and clinical team are treated with exceptional care. Why it this important?? Because this training and care provided to the clinicians extends to the care they provide with clients. This would have been my number one choice for training placement as a clinician had I lived in Denver and it existed at the time. I am grateful to have this opportunity to support the mission of and clients, students, clinicians, and leadership impacted by of Ardent Grove.

I love travel, comedy, learning, exploring, going to the movies, being in nature, mountain biking, sunrises and sunsets, and long walks on the beach :) I spend most of my time thinking about my pup, Miss. Mr. Kenobi, Obi Wan. The best good girl ever.
