About (Summary)
I am a recent graduate from the University of Denver where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences after double majoring in Sociology and Gender & Women's Studies. Both programs helped me foster an incredible respect and passion for social justice and community engagement. I am a Denver, Colorado native and have been a nanny in the area for over 8 years. In addition to working in a children's nursery, I nanny privately for many families in the Denver area. I hope to combine my passion of working with children and families with my interests in the Social Sciences by obtaining a degree in Social Work. Within the Social Work program, I plan on concentrating in programs that will allow me to work one-on-one and in group settings with children who need additional resources and positive human connection in their lives. I am a firm believer that human connection is one of our most valuable resources!
I am proud Denver native and hope to become a great resource for my community as I continue my education and begin to build a career!
Honors and Awards
Rita Braito Award for Excellence in Gender and Women's Studies
I received the Rita Braito award after completing original, qualitative research employing Feminist research methods as my undergraduate senior thesis.
Magna Cum Laude
Grad School Interests
I was recently accepted into the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver. I hope to narrow my focus within the social sciences by concentrating on social work with children and youth associated with risks and positive development.
Intended Job Path
I intend to obtain a Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Children and Youth in order to work as a Social Worker in communal settings such as schools, aftercare programs and community organizations. I plan to receive adequate training to be able to work directly with children in both individual and group settings.

Hobbies
In my free time I love to spend time outdoors camping, hiking and road tripping! I thoroughly enjoy getting out, exploring new places, trying new activities and meeting new people along the way. I find the outdoors to be a wonderful vehicle for self care and enjoy the beauty that our nation's many mountain ranges, beaches and national parks provide. While I am interested in many activities from hiking to snowboarding to rock climbing, one of my current goals is to continue to hike as many of our nation's 14ers as I can. I have currently reached the summit of ten peaks and hope to conquer many more!
