I value authenticity and honesty, so I’m going to be transparent - I left a 30 year career in Learning & Development when someone dear to me ended their life.
As someone who has tremendous empathy for others, this loss changed me and I decided to pivot into a career of working in the nonprofit sector where compassion runs deep. This is where my purpose lies.
I love writing and connecting with others, and am boldly committed to mental health and crisis counseling. I am pursuing my degree in Psychology and am looking forward to doing my part in creating a better world for others.

In February of 2023, my teenage daughter’s best friend ended her life by suicide. This loss so
close to our household changed everything for me.
I have always been a supporter of mental health but losing this sweet girl who spent many
overnights and weekends in our home, so close to sixteen years old, has impacted me in ways
that I never thought possible. It made me speak up and speak out about mental health in ways I
never considered.
I found myself talking about my mental health struggles on social media, sharing content, and
being the voice for so many who could not speak. Her loss made me braver than I have ever been
in my entire life.
I spent the last 30 years in the professional training industry, helping people learn. Still, I
continued to hear this voice that spoke to my heart telling me that this was not where I was
meant to be anymore and that it was time to take a bold and brave step and move into the mental
health career field.
I contacted Crisis Text Line and became a volunteer crisis counselor. I started fundraising
campaigns and exceeded several fundraising goals. Everything was coming together so quickly; I
could not believe it. I felt like I was in the place I was meant to be.
In March of 2023, I was laid off from my job in corporate training. Normally, I would be
struggling with fear, worry, and anxiety because of this unforeseen incident, but this time,
everything just felt different for me. I embraced this change wholeheartedly and pivoted into a
completely different career field.
I became Mental Health First Aid certified for both youth and adults and turned over every rock I
could around mental health. I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in mental health, but I was
not sure where to get started.
I graduated as Valedictorian of my high school in 1995. I have learned so much about myself
since this time and can see my virtues of empathy, active listening, dedication, resilience, critical
thinking, and continuous improvement lighting the way for others.
In April of 2023, I started looking into opportunities in the mental health field but realized that I
did not have a degree to take any next steps towards my future. I enrolled in Dallas College and
am working towards my Associate of Arts degree with a concentration in Psychology. I am an
honors student and member of both Phi Theta Kappa and Psi Beta. I am committed to improving
myself, my community, and the world, and I will accomplish this with my degree in Psychology
as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
I have been accepted to Texas A&M Corpus Christi and will continue to pursue my Bachelor of
Arts degree in Psychology.
I am a Crisis Counselor for 988 Lifeline and support people in their darkest hour. I am finally on
my way to doing what I am meant to do.
I would be honored to be considered for this scholarship, as this truly aligns with who I am as a
person. I want to have lots of opportunities to help make the world better, one person at a time. I
appreciate your consideration.

Fishers of Men-tal Health Scholarship
In February of 2023, my teenage daughter’s best friend ended her life by suicide. This loss so close to our household changed everything for me.
I have always been a supporter of mental health but losing this sweet girl who spent many overnights and weekends in our home, so close to sixteen years old, has impacted me in ways that I never thought possible. It made me speak up and speak out about mental health in ways I never considered.
I found myself talking about my mental health struggles on social media, sharing content, and being the voice for so many who could not speak. Her loss made me braver than I have ever been in my entire life.
I spent the last 30 years in the professional training industry, helping people learn, but I continued to hear this voice that spoke to my heart telling me that this was not where I was meant to be anymore and that it was time to take a bold and brave step and move into mental health career field.
I contacted Crisis Text Line and became a volunteer crisis counselor. I started fundraising campaigns and exceeded several fundraising goals. Everything was coming together so quickly; I could not believe it. I felt like I was in the place was meant to be.
In March of 2023, I was laid off from my job in corporate training. Normally, I would be struggling with fear, worry, and anxiety because of this unforeseen incident, but this time, everything just felt different for me. I opted to embrace this change wholeheartedly and pivot into a completely different career field.
I became Mental Health First Aid certified for both youth and adults and turned over every rock I could around mental health. I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in mental health, but I was not sure where to get started.
I graduated as Valedictorian of my high school in 1995. I have learned so much about myself since this time and can see my virtues of empathy, active listening, dedication, resilience, critical thinking, and continuous improvement that light the way for others.

I enrolled in Dallas College and am working towards my Associate of Arts degree with a concentration in Psychology. I am an honors student and member of Phi Theta Kappa and Psi Beta. I am committed to improving myself, my community, and the world, and I will accomplish this with my degree in Psychology as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
I have been accepted to Texas A&M Corpus Christi and will continue to pursue my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology beginning in 2025. I am undecided about where I will attend graduate school for my Master's degree, but do know that it will have to be centered on a curriculum for The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) or order to fully become a LPC.
I enjoy learning and am taking each step one at a time, but am dedicated to pursuing my long-term goal and have been celebrating the wins along the way. I revel in knowing that each class I have taken and accomplished an A in, is leading me one step closer to my dream of fully being immersed into the field of psychology where I can one day have patients who look to me and where I will be allowed to lean into my skills of helping them live their best lives - one patient at a time. I truly never thought that I would ever be pursuing this career field, but the mental health crisis we are facing in the United States has led me to stay steadfast in my education.
I am a Crisis Counselor for 988 Lifeline and support people in their darkest hour. I am finally on my way to doing what I feel I am meant to do.
My own firsthand experience with my mental health struggles has influenced my belief that I can truly change the world through one person at a time, however, that change had to start with me. I had to set aside my fears and anxiety about going back to college to pursue the education that was required and be dedicated to something bigger than myself for this change to transpire.
On this journey, I have met so many diverse people who all share a common thread of struggling with their mental health and it has helped me to understand that no one is truly ever alone. We are all humans and every single one of us struggles with something. No one is immune to hardships that come with living because that is a part of being human.
Pursuing my passion for helping others with their mental health helps me feel more grounded and connected with humanity as a whole. It helps me remember that there are truly people who care for others, lead with empathy and nonjudgement, and allow people autonomy to talk through their struggles and help guide them into making the best decisions for themselves, regardless of their background, gender, sexual orientation, beliefs, race, physical appearance, values, or any type of social construct that attempts to divide people. Mental health is health and without having opportunities to share our experiences and struggles with other people, it can poison other areas of our lives and further corrupt people as a whole.
My yoga teacher once said, "We are all divine beings having a human experience" and that has stuck with me for years, as it echoes so true for all of humanity.
I would be honored to be considered for this scholarship, as this truly aligns with who I am as a person. I want to have lots of opportunities to help make the world better, one person at a time. I appreciate your consideration.

Robert F. Lawson Fund for Careers that Care
In February of 2023, my teenage daughter’s best friend ended her life by suicide. This loss so close to our household changed everything for me.
I have always been a supporter of mental health but losing this sweet girl who spent many overnights and weekends in our home, so close to sixteen years old, has impacted me in ways that I never thought possible. It made me speak up and speak out about mental health in ways I never considered.
I found myself talking about my mental health struggles on social media, sharing content, and being the voice for so many who could not speak. Her loss made me braver than I have ever been in my entire life.
I spent the last 30 years in the professional training industry, helping people learn, but I continued to hear this voice that spoke to my heart telling me that this was not where I was meant to be anymore and that it was time to take a bold and brave step and move into mental health career field.
I contacted Crisis Text Line and became a volunteer crisis counselor. I started fundraising campaigns and exceeded several fundraising goals. Everything was coming together so quickly; I could not believe it. I felt like I was in the place was meant to be.
In March of 2023, I was laid off from my job in corporate training. Normally, I would be struggling with fear, worry, and anxiety because of this unforeseen incident, but this time, everything just felt different for me.

I graduated as Valedictorian of my high school in 1995. I have learned so much about myself since this time and can see my virtues of empathy, active listening, dedication, resilience, critical thinking, and continuous improvement that light the way for others.
In April of 2023, I started looking into opportunities in the mental health field but realized that I did not have a degree to take any next steps towards my future. I enrolled in Dallas College and am working towards my Associate of Arts degree with a concentration in Psychology. I am an honors student and member of Phi Theta Kappa and Psi Beta. I am committed to improving myself, my community, and the world, and I will accomplish this with my degree in Psychology as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
I am a Crisis Counselor for 988 Lifeline at The Trevor Project and support mostly LGBTQ+ people in their darkest hour. I am finally on my way to doing what I feel like I am meant to do.
I would be honored to be considered, as this truly aligns with who I am as a person. I want to have lots of opportunities to help make the world better, one person at a time. I appreciate your consideration.
Ethel Hayes Destigmatization of Mental Health Scholarship
In February of 2023, my teenage daughter’s best friend ended her life by suicide. This loss so close to our household changed everything for me.

I found myself talking about my mental health struggles on social media, sharing content, and being the voice for so many who could not speak. Her loss made me braver than I have ever been in my entire life.
I spent the last 30 years in the professional training industry, helping people learn, but I continued to hear this voice that spoke to my heart telling me that this was not where I was meant to be anymore and that it was time to take a bold and brave step and move into mental health career field.
I contacted the Crisis Text Line and became a volunteer crisis counselor. I started fundraising campaigns and exceeded several fundraising goals. Everything was coming together so quickly; I could not believe it. I felt like I was in the place was meant to be.
In March of 2023, I was laid off from my job in corporate training.

I found myself talking about mental health struggles on social media, including LinkedIn where every person in my professional training company could read about. Her loss made me braver than I’ve ever been in my entire life.
I’ve spent the last 30 years in the professional training industry, helping people learn, but kept hearing this voice that spoke to my heart telling me that this is not where I was meant to be any longer.
I contacted the Crisis Text Line and became a crisis counselor. I signed up to volunteer with the North Texas Chapter for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I started a fundraising campaign for To Write Love on Her Arms and exceeded a fundraising goal. Everything was coming together so quickly; I just couldn’t believe it.
On March 31st, I was laid off from my job. Normally, I would be struggling with fear, worry, and anxiety over this unforeseen incident, but this time, everything just felt different. I realized I had a lot of time, so I opted to put it to use for the greater good.
I got Mental Health First Aid certified and turned over every rock I could. I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in mental health but wasn’t sure where to get started.
I graduated as Valedictorian of my high school. I went to Tarrant County College for a semester and never took my finals. I had the Manager guilt me in to covering a shift instead of investing in myself. I was nineteen years old and trying to understand how to be an adult during this time.
Fast forward to April of this year, I started looking into opportunities in the mental health field but realized that I didn’t have a degree to take any next steps towards my future. I reluctantly requested my former college transcript and was shocked to see that I earned 11 hours. I couldn’t believe it. My GPA is currently awful, but I did it. I’m committed to improving not only my GPA, but also myself, my community, and the world.
I’m pursuing my degree in Psychology. I also recently received a job opportunity with The Trevor Project as a crisis counselor. I am finally on my way to doing what I feel like I am meant to do.
I would be honored to be considered, as this truly aligns with who I am as a person. I want to have lots of opportunities to help make the world better, one person at a time. I appreciate your consideration.

In February of this year, my teenage daughter’s best friend chose to end her life by suicide. This loss so close to our household changed everything for me.
I’ve always been a supporter of mental health but losing this sweet girl who spent many overnights and weekends in our home, so close to sixteen years old, has impacted me in ways that I never thought possible. It made me speak up and speak out about mental health in ways I never considered.
I found myself talking about mental health struggles on social media, including LinkedIn where every person in my professional training company could read about. Her loss made me braver than I’ve ever been in my entire life.
I’ve spent the last 30 years in the professional training industry, helping people learn, but kept hearing this voice that spoke to my heart telling me that this is not where I was meant to be any longer.
I contacted the Crisis Text Line and became a crisis counselor. I signed up to volunteer with the North Texas Chapter for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I started a fundraising campaign for To Write Love on Her Arms and exceeded a fundraising goal. Everything was coming together so quickly; I just couldn’t believe it.
On March 31st, I was laid off from my job. Normally, I would be struggling with fear, worry, and anxiety over this unforeseen incident, but this time, everything just felt different. I realized I had a lot of time, so I opted to put it to use for the greater good.
I got Mental Health First Aid certified and turned over every rock I could. I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in mental health but wasn’t sure where to get started.
I graduated as Valedictorian of my high school. I went to Tarrant County College for a semester and never took my finals. I had the Manager guilt me in to covering a shift instead of investing in myself. I was nineteen years old and trying to understand how to be an adult during this time.
Fast forward to April of this year, I started looking into opportunities in the mental health field but realized that I didn’t have a degree to take any next steps towards my future. I reluctantly requested my former college transcript and was shocked to see that I earned 11 hours. I couldn’t believe it. My GPA is currently awful, but I did it. I’m committed to improving not only my GPA, but also myself, my community, and the world.
I’m pursuing my degree in Psychology. I also recently received a job opportunity with The Trevor Project as a crisis counselor. I am finally on my way to doing what I feel like I am meant to do.

I’ve always been a supporter of mental health but losing this sweet girl who spent many overnights and weekends in our home, so close to sixteen years old, has impacted me in ways that I never thought possible. It made me speak up and speak out about mental health in ways I never considered.
I found myself talking about mental health struggles on social media, including LinkedIn where every person in my professional training company could read about. Her loss made me braver than I’ve ever been in my entire life.
I’ve spent the last 30 years in the professional training industry, helping people learn, but kept hearing this voice that spoke to my heart telling me that this is not where I was meant to be any longer.
I contacted the Crisis Text Line and became a crisis counselor. I signed up to volunteer with the North Texas Chapter for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I started a fundraising campaign for To Write Love on Her Arms and exceeded a fundraising goal. Everything was coming together so quickly; I just couldn’t believe it.
On March 31st, I was laid off from my job. Normally, I would be struggling with fear, worry, and anxiety over this unforeseen incident, but this time, everything just felt different. I realized I had a lot of time, so I opted to put it to use for the greater good.
I got Mental Health First Aid certified and turned over every rock I could. I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in mental health but wasn’t sure where to get started.
I graduated as Valedictorian of my high school. I went to Tarrant County College for a semester and never took my finals. I had the Manager guilt me in to covering a shift instead of investing in myself. I was nineteen years old and trying to understand how to be an adult during this time.
Fast forward to April of this year, I started looking into opportunities in the mental health field but realized that I didn’t have a degree to take any next steps towards my future. I reluctantly requested my former college transcript and was shocked to see that I earned 11 hours. I couldn’t believe it. My GPA is currently awful, but I did it. I’m committed to improving not only my GPA, but also myself, my community, and the world.
I’m pursuing my degree in Psychology. I also recently received a job opportunity with The Trevor Project as a crisis counselor. I am finally on my way to doing what I feel like I am meant to do.
I would be honored to be considered, as this truly aligns with who I am as a person. I want to have lots of opportunities to help make the world better, one person at a time. I appreciate your consideration.
