About
I want to bridge the gap between foster care children and homelessness. I find it unfortunate that on a child's 18th birthday instead of celebrating they are trying to figure out where they have to live. I want to be a part of the solution and provide resources for these children so they can go on to live healthy and happy lives.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am so excited to be apart of the solution. I want to bridge the gap between foster care children and homelessness. Creating an organization that can provide a safe healthy environment for children aging out of foster care and do not have a forever home. I'm looking forward to connecting with other organizations who are already creating spaces such as these.
- Graduate school interests
After undergraduate school, I plan to pursue a master's degree in Social Work and go on to take my exam to become a LMSW. After some time in the field I will go on to take the exam to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
