About
I am a recent graduate of Husson University, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with summa cum laude distinction and a 4.0 GPA. My academic focus centers on mental health, trauma, resilience, and person-centered care, shaped by both professional experience in human services and meaningful lived experience. I will begin Master’s-level study in Psychology in September in the United Kingdom, continuing my commitment to ethical, trauma-informed mental health support for vulnerable and underserved populations. My long-term goal is to contribute to clinical practice, research, and advocacy that strengthens dignity, access, and resilience in mental health care.
