About

Hello, I am a graduate student working on her Masters in Education in Counseling and Development, with an emphasis in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling. I am a hardworking and organized individual who has managed to attain her Bachelors Degree and now working on her Masters all the while working full-time. For the last two years, I have worked as a Case Manager for a shelter that services undocumented minors fleeing their home countries. My job is incredibly fulfilling, and while working there, I have had the opportunity to work side by side with the Clinicians and know that I want to apply my education, passion, and drive to help children and individuals that have faced traumatic experiences. My goal is to get licensed as a Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist, in order to be able to continue to work with the children that we help now, then eventually move onto a private practice and serve families.
