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, but I am fully committed to what lies ahead.
