How do you know your graduating student nominee?

Daughter

Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!

I have watched my daughter work full time for 2 1/2 years as an Intense Juvenile Probation Officer for Williamson County ... She also would work on weekends a second job all day Saturdays or evenings to babysit to make ends meet. She has been at The Refuge Center three days a week for her required unpaid internship. Her degree will be in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She felt called to this degree after losing her Dad, my husband, when she was 17 years old. Her desire is to help young children in trauma and women.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?

She serves her community well. She has a deep desire to help those suffering with mental health get healthy.


Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Alexandra!
