Masters Portfolio

Hey everyone! Welcome to the newest addition to HappyCuppaJoe in a few years! Life got a little busy on me, but I’m back at it thanks to an assignment in my final class of my Masters degree. 😊

Within the Masters Highlights, you will find each course that I took as well as the most meaningful resources or assignments from those classes. So much of the learning that I have experienced over the past five years has influenced not only my career, but my personal life as well. Weaved throughout the summaries of these courses you’ll find a bit about my story as well, and how my life transformed from a single working woman to a working mama in a family of six!

You’ll also hear of my most recent struggles with fertility, but please know that I am in a good place with incredible family, friends, doctors, and counsellors supporting me. This struggle has inspired my next steps in my career, which I hope you will follow me on! Read on to find out what those next steps look like, and how each of my courses shaped my abilities as a counsellor and as an empathetic support to anyone that I can find who could use some.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy a happy cuppa joe while hopefully finding some helpful resources that will help you on your journey as well!

Happy reading! 😊
