Welcome

Hello all,

My name is Brooke, and I'm a masters student at Montclair State University. I'm working towards a masters in addiction counseling. My BA is in anthropology with a concentration in archaeology. Addiction has its own culture, and since anthropology is the study of cultures, I feel there will be a nice compliment with the knowledge I have. I've had family go through treatment, and have always held addiction counselors in a special place in my heart. They do a vital service to our community. I'm looking forward to becoming a counselor and helping people learn how to overcome their addiction, and equip them with tools to lead a productive, healthy life.
A little bit about me: I'm 31, married, and a stay at home mom. I have a 5 year old son, Max, who has autism. Definitely makes for a more interesting life. I love reading, video games, and chocolate. I'm very excited to be in grad school, and am looking forward to all the great experiences it will bring.
