As a social work educator, clinician, researcher, and soon-to-be PhD student, I am committed to fostering empowerment through education, trauma-informed care, and affirming practices that honor lived experiences. In my research, teaching, and clinical work, I help students and clients recognize personal and systemic barriers while developing concrete strategies to navigate and challenge them. Beyond direct practice, I drive change through research, presentations, and grant work that address real-world social issues. My research centers on equity, inclusion, and access, ensuring policies and practices align with the needs of diverse communities. Whether presenting at conferences or securing funding for social justice initiatives and educational programs, my goal is to create opportunities for learning, growth, and lasting impact.
