Amanda Lopez is my childhood friend who just became a licensed substance abuse counselor and social worker! I am so proud of her. Thinking about the concept of identity she came to my mind because I have seen her don many different identities (as we all have) that have lead her to where she is today. She is also someone who I can always have great convos with around personal growth and development. She's an explorer - like me!
