About
I am a first-generation college student pursuing a degree in Social Work, with a focus on supporting individuals facing addiction, mental health challenges, and systemic barriers. My path has been shaped by lived experience, including time in foster care and recovery, which has strengthened my resilience and commitment to helping others. I currently work in addiction treatment, supporting clients in detox and residential settings. I plan to pursue a Master of Social Work to continue serving underserved communities and providing compassionate, client-centered care.
