Hi! Im Appel (pronounced like "apple ") I started providing support and mentorship to youth and adults. Held weekly support group meetings for traumatized individuals. Gave advice to those who wanted support in improving their life. All of this was in 2010 to 2014. Based on my gifts I chose the major to make me more effective in any social environment. This lead me to receive my Baccalaureate in Sociology with concentration in Youth Development in April 2024! More than my experience and credentials I developed the desire to care for others. I also understand adults and children that are disabled. I have a disability myself (mutism hard of hearing) and after all ive experienced, I now see disability not as a problem or a "difference" but as strength and potential.
