I am a junior honors student working towards a B.A in Psychology while minoring in Criminal Justice and Youth and Community Studies. I am dedicated to fostering change in my communities, driven by my ambitions as a first generation student. Through my community involvement and mentor experience, I have developed useful skills as a leader. I believe I bring the patience, empathy, and creativity needed to support the work done in social services. The work I currently do as a Wellness Coach and peer mentor have significantly shaped my career interests. As I further my studies at Suffolk University, my aim is to combine my academic disciplines to pursue a rewarding career in mental health counseling or social work. I am committed to working in a role that would allow me to enhance human well-being. My hopes are to provide support as a clinician specifically serving adolescents.
