About
I am a mother of 2, studying and working, plus volunteering every weekend to support my community. My major and classes are related to my values and the needs I see around me. Latino population is not related to therapy and I want to support them by talking with them and help them make their goals clear and possible. Motivation is a great piece of myself. I am pursuing a Degree in Psychology and start the Master program in January 2026.

I enjoy to read, learn Italian and sing in Italian. I visit gardens and new places around my community when I can.

I enjoy listening to others and be a companionship, respecting others’ needs and offering resources people request.
