I am a senior at the University of South Florida, majoring in Children’s Behavioral Healthcare. I have a passion for children and youth mental health, child welfare, and advocacy. With diverse experience in childcare roles, I’ve had the opportunity to support children’s growth, mental health, and well-being in various settings. My goal is to become a child life specialist at St.Jude Children's Research Hospital or a play therapist, where I can continue advocating for children and helping them navigate emotional challenges. I am committed to creating safe and nurturing environments where children feel valued, understood, and loved. I have also gained international experience studying social work and behavioral addiction at Florence University of the Arts, broadening my perspective on mental health care. Additionally, I hold certifications in Psychological First Aid and the Department of Children and Families, allowing me to provide high-quality care for each child I work with.
