Alongside my studies, I work with a child cancer association, where I support families navigating pediatric illness and bereavement.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My intended career path is to become a licensed professional clinical counselor specializing in trauma and recovery, with a focus on serving survivors of human trafficking. I aim to integrate evidence-based practices with a compassionate, client-centered approach to support long-term healing, empowerment, and reintegration. I am dedicated to advocating for vulnerable populations and contributing to systems of care that promote safety, dignity, and lasting recovery.
- Graduate school interests
My graduate school interests include trauma-informed counseling, grief and loss, and working with individuals who have experienced complex and chronic trauma. I am particularly drawn to research and practice focused on survivors of human trafficking and the development of interventions that support identity restoration, resilience, and reintegration. I am also interested in advocacy and improving access to mental health services for underserved populations.
- Outside the classroom
Outside of my academic and professional work, I enjoy playing tennis, gardening, and engaging in creative activities such as crafting and DIY home projects. I also have a passion for creative writing and reading emotionally driven literature that explores themes of resilience, healing, and human connection.
