Fawn Power

I grew up in a family with a lot of substance abuse and continued substance abuse issues which created traumatic life events, and other types of abuse. I was one child who made it out of a traumatic life because there were people willing to help me and my family find a way. I was able to feel what another humans care could do for me and my family, and this created empathy, care, and a strong desire to help others in vulnerable situations. I am able to take a step back, listen, and put others perspectives first while setting mine aside in order to help them. I am a kind, empathetic and caring human looking to gain knowledge in a career I am passionate about.

As a teen I had a few different jobs, but by far taking care of children was my favorite. I knew I always wanted a large family, so I was married at 21 and had my daughter at 22, followed by her three brothers.

I have been raising four beautiful children for the last 17 years, and started to pursue my dreams of building a career in helping humans in vulnerable circumstances in 2023. I graduated from highschool in 2024 and entered the Social worker certificate program that fall. My son youngest son went to kindergarten and I have been in school ever since. Learning and growing, and looking forward to gaining more knowledge.
