My name is Annie. I live in Maine. I attend a community college part-time, work full-time, and have an 12-year-old daughter. I've recently been accepted to start at a University to pursue my bachelors this fall. I am currently a supervisor at a dual-diagnosis adult residential with a focus on substance abuse disorder. I am recovering myself, so I find it very important. I am a single mom, so I work overnight. That way, I can still attend school and care for my daughter. I have always wanted to work in the mental health field, and I plan on working there for the rest of my life. My goal is to apply my mental health knowledge to nursing. I would like to receive my bachelor's degree in nursing. My dream career would be as a psychiatric nurse practitioner.
