About
I am currently completing my Bachelor of Social Work at Florida Atlantic University through the College of Social Work and Criminal Justice. I previously earned my Associate in Arts from Palm Beach State College in December 2024. I currently have a 3.974 GPA at FAU and have maintained a 4.0 GPA for three consecutive semesters, from Summer 2025 through Spring 2026. I was named to both the Dean’s List and President’s List in Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. During Spring 2026, I completed 15 credits of upper-level social work coursework and earned an A in all five courses, while also completing 10 service-learning hours. I am now entering my final field education experience in Fall 2026, a 12-credit component of my BSW program. Overall, I have earned approximately 109 undergraduate credits and have a 3.716 cumulative undergraduate GPA, including my transfer coursework. I am especially proud of the academic progress I have made and my ability to continue improving my performance while advancing through increasingly specialized social work coursework.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My intended career path is to complete my Bachelor of Social Work and then attend graduate school to earn my Master of Social Work (MSW). After completing my graduate education and the necessary clinical training and licensure requirements, my goal is to become a therapist. I hope to use my education and professional experience to help individuals navigate challenges, improve their well-being, and create meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in pursuing a **Master of Social Work (MSW)** with a focus on clinical social work. My goal is to continue developing my skills in mental health, counseling, and therapeutic interventions and ultimately pursue clinical licensure so I can work as a therapist.
- Outside the classroom
In my free time, I enjoy hobbies that allow me to stay active, work with my hands, and take on new challenges. I enjoy home improvement projects, where I can learn new skills and see the results of my work firsthand. I am also passionate about working on cars, from routine maintenance to modifying and improving performance, which gives me an opportunity to problem-solve and learn how things work. I also enjoy playing pickleball, which keeps me active and gives me a fun way to spend time with friends and meet new people.
