Bio

Hello, my name is Caro Aposhian, and I’m a sober transgender man living with ADHD and fibromyalgia. I am a first-time college student of the "better late than never" variety. I believe my life's purpose is to help those who are struggling with addiction, and rebuild healthy communities. I am going to school to pursue a certification in addiction counseling with a long term goal of attaining my masters of social work degree. Some of my hobbies include surfing, running, karaoke, and learning how to DJ. I'm seeking scholarships so that I can be a full time student and focus solely on becoming the best counselor that I can be!
