“I began working at TKS upon completing my degree and have discovered the many students, staff, and the facility that has inspired my growth as an art therapist. I have always wanted to be an art therapist, and the work here allows me to share in the creative process with our students as they learn new skills, experience success, and become part of the community. ”
