Ever since I was a


Ever since I was a little girl

I knew that I wanted to help people

What I didn't know, was how?

 

Then I turned fifteen

My life felt like it stopped

The only thing that mattered was the number on the scale

120, 108, 102, 98, 95, 93

This was my life


I hated everyone and everything, especially myself

I wanted to die

Until one day

Somebody saved me form myself

 

I knew from that day that this was my passion

This is what God made me to do 

Help people suffering from eating disorders

Show them that there is a life out there

 

I begin my career in a PhD program in Clinical Psychology

This is where my journey begins.
