Juan

CBRS/CM

I have a B.S. in Psychology from University of Idaho. I was born in Mexico, but I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be raised in the U.S. thanks to my parent’s hard work in getting my family permanent residency with each of us eventually becoming citizens. Growing up in Nampa and going to school in the small town of Melba, Idaho has been my home for most of my life. I spend my free time trying and learning something new. Some of my recent learning involves crafting, writing, and video editing. I feel it is important to find something that takes the edge off and for me that is pretty much anything that involves multiple steps toward achieving a goal. I have made a lot of supportive friends throughout the years that made me who I am today. Although many of them are now miles and miles away, I still spend time with them every day playing video games, namely Dota 2. During my own journey with mental health, I decided that I wanted to help people in something not everyone understands. Although it has been difficult at times, I pushed through thanks to all the support from my friends and family. I now hope to use my education and life experiences to help others.
