About

I am a USC 2016 MSW Candidate with a concentration in Mental Health and a sub-concentration in Military and Veteran Social Work. My ultimate goal is to provide positive clinical experiences for active, inactive, and veteran military service members with a focus on trauma and traumatic brain injury recovery. I am currently designing my own equine therapy program to be located in the Inland Empire of California, and I am researching various PhD clinical programs across Southern California with a goal of applying in 5 to 10 years with a focus on traumatic brain injury.
