Roxanne Strong works the front desk at the Salvation Army's shelter in downtown Austin and is often the first point of contact for people seeking help. She's passionate about her job and says it brings her "overwhelming joy."

Strong talked with KUT's Jennifer Stayton about her journey from addiction to what she calls her "dream come true" life.
