Honesty, really is the best policy.As a little girl I dreamed of being a princess or a veterinarian, something more simple than going to college and struggling to understand my LinkedIn account. I started Colorado Technical University in 2016 and will graduate in August, 2020 with a Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice and Human Services. My passion is to be a drug and substance abuse counselor and to be able to help give others their second chance at living! I have always been a very empathetic, caring, and nurturing person by nature. Throughout life, I have always had a knack for communication, written or verbal, being a solid listener, giving feedback , problem solving, adapting to unseen circumstances, amongst many other skills. I am here to learn and gain valuable knowlege and information towards my field, from other professionals in the counseling world. I have a tremendous amount of personal knowledge about addiction and the impacts it has on an individual and those directly involved but I am looking for any extra advice or information, from professionals, that can point me in the right direction. Please feel free to email me at ashliegray3@outlook.com if you would like to share or give any advice on drug and substance abuse counseling.
