About

Currently, I am a graduate student at the University of Southern California studying social worker specifically for adult mental health with a concentration in military. The Air Force values this program due to the experience and education specifically geared towards the military. The first year of this program I fell in love with everything. I started my Internship in January 2022 at a Wounded Warrior Battalion and I experience a wide variety of practice between groups, one on ones, and attending courses that are on my referral list for my patients.

Goals and interests

Career goal

The Dream has always been to be in the military and help people, I did not know what that was going to look like until I found this path of social work. My goal upon completing my degree program is to be selected as a Clinical Social Worker in the Air Force as active duty. The military has shaped me my whole life and I want nothing more than to be in the service anyway I can.

Outside the classroom

I love doing new things all the time, each year I make a list of new skills I want to acquire. Other than that, my hobby is being an aerialist. I have been doing it for over a year and I love it.
