I am extremely excited to join the TNC board to help spread stories of their successes. To me there is no better way to broaden and expand my own knowledge than to work within a system that is set-up for the benefit of all members and society. I fully embrace this opportunity and hope that I can give back a fraction of the overall worth that I will gain through my involvement with Terra Nova Counseling.”
