From her family to her community, Cassandra prioritizes helping others.
“No matter what I do in life, I’m always going to help people…that’s what I love,” said Cassandra.
In her personal life, Cassandra cares for her three-year-old son Tyson and is always free to lend a hand to friends and family. But her selflessness doesn’t stop there. As a student and professional Cassandra gives back to her community. It all started when Cassandra was a practicum student, working toward her associate degree.
