Personal

Paige grew up in an unconventional home with varying types of family structures. Growing up in this manner offered her experiences that help her relate to others and live with an open mind on a daily basis. She accepted Christ into her life and became a born again Christian at the age of twelve. She lives her life for God, and, although it is often met with struggles, she never regrets the path that has been laid out for her by God. She enjoys spending her time volunteering in the community, reading, painting, and various outdoor activities.

Vision

Paige lives by the idea that we are all individuals as much as we are a part of the community. We are spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical beings, and how we take care of those different areas of who we are is both personal and communal. It is her goal to help others create better and more functional ways of living by focusing on areas where issues exist and focusing on the person as a whole. Paige understands that each person and every situation is unique, and strives to have an open mind while using her experience, empathy, and love to make this journey of life more fulfilling and satisfying for everyone.
