About me
St. Louis University | PhD Program
I’ve begun a new chapter at Saint Louis University, pursuing my PhD in Social Work. It’s both exciting and overwhelming—filled with long nights, new challenges, and moments of self-doubt balanced with determination. At the heart of it, this step is about growth, discovery, and dedicating myself to research that makes a difference. I may not have all the answers yet, but I am fully committed to what lies ahead.
My Professional Journey and Vision
In this new phase of my life, my purpose is clear: to transform my lived experiences into meaningful impact. My work is rooted in empowerment—providing practical tools, fostering genuine relationships, and helping others build the confidence to move forward. I focus on personal agency, mutual respect, and creating real, lasting change.
I am deeply committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—not as a catchphrase, but as a practice. In mentorship, scholarship, policy, and direct action, I stand alongside those who have been historically excluded and lean into the discomfort that arises when truth insists on being heard.
