Muriel Troxler
I chose this career path because
I worked with the homeless for 6 years. In those years I saw that there was a gap between women and children in shelters. My desire is to help women with issues including addictions, being homeless, being a victim of domestic violence, and more.
I prepared for this career by
I received my B.S. in Child Development and I am currently taking course for counseling.
The biggest challenge I've overcome
I struggled myself over the course of my life with different issues and at times was unable to receive the support I needed. I know first hand the importance of support, treatment, and healing.
My greatest strength(s)
I have the ability to talk to the lowest of the low and the highest of the high. My faith in god has given me tremendous strength over the years.
My greatest accomplishment to date
I was a teacher for 20 years. I started out as a high school teach and went on to teach pre-school children. I have a board in my home with pictures of my students in both grades and I pray for them to succeed.
My personal/professional goals
I want to be able to buy some land and build a big, beautiful Victorian style home to house homeless women and children and provide them with a comfortable lifestyle. I also want to grow my own food on this land.
I most want to be known/remembered for
I want to be remembered as someone who helped women in similar circumstances that I have overcome in my life. I want to be known for truly making a difference.
