Anything else you want us to know about you? I am so excited that my company started the pilot program with Dr. Tro’s team, and I was selected. After I completed the application, I prayed that I would be selected. God answered my prayers and I was! I received a phone call from Dr. Tro’s office a few days before Christmas letting me know, I was selected. I am so grateful for Dr. Tro, Amy my coach and the rest of the team for supporting me through this journey. I am working hard to be successful for myself, Jesus, and my co-workers so that they can have a chance to do the program too. Looking forward to achieving more success!
