Ramie Siler Orientation Case Manager and Freedom Recovery Community Property Manager
My reason for choosing The Next Door is because I have been given the opportunity to be an example for the women we serve. The Next Door provided for me a means to better my life and become reunited with my daughter. I want to be an inspiration to the women in recovery especially during those times when we feel we can’t go on. I believe that we are not defined by our past and that through faith God will provide “the next door”- another chance to live a full and productive life as women and as mothers.
Ramie is currently working toward licensure as a LADAC.
