My journey to a career in mental health began during the summer of 2018 when I had the opportunity to volunteer with the charity Walking with The Wounded. The Walk of America was a 1000-mile hike undertaken by 6 veterans designed to raise awareness and highlight the effects of both PTSD and TBI on individuals, families and communities. Whilst initially setting out in the capacity to document the expedition, I swiftly became aware of the impact and necessity of mental health treatment and soon after enrolled at Regent's University in London.
