About

I am currently an Social work student at Highland's University in Rio Rancho, NM. I am studying to be a School Social worker. I grew up in the beautiful enchanted land of New Mexico. I excel in finding new and different ways to approach problems and I am open to new experiences and like to take a flexible approach to most things. My ultimate goal is working with children and families which I love to do. I grew up around children all my life and felt the calling to be a social worker in order to make an impact on children's mental health and help them achieve their goals. I strive toward creating an environment where children know that they are truly cared for and are safe, there's no limit to what they can achieve. I want to make a difference anyway I can.
