Why do you work at The Tree House Child Advocacy Center of Montgomery County, MD? 

“What started as a mandated transfer, has turned out to be the most rewarding experience. One could not ask for a more cohesive and caring team of individuals with which to spend the work week. But the children are the gems that make every difficult day, every traumatic story, and every hardship faced seem small in the light of their smiles. Onward to the better and brighter days ahead! #Healing”
