A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Anna McCoy and I just recently moved to Charleston from Grand Island, Nebraska! I majored in Criminal Justice, Psychology and Behavioral Science in college and graduated from Concordia University Nebraska in May of 2024. I have worked as a Family Life Specialist since graduation in May, and have enjoyed working to help parents get their children back in their homes. From doing this this job, to working in my mom's second grade classroom and babysitting my best friends 1 year old daughter, I have realized that I thoroughly enjoy working with kids. I will be starting my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in August 2025 and am looking for a family I can work with throughout that experience as well as my classes will only be online and occasionally during weekends. I am an extremely positive, funny, and organized individual. Give me a call/text/email and I would love to get in contact! Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you!
