Summary
I have always been eager to lend a helping hand to families in need, as my first job was as a babysitter at age 13. Since then, I have been in the childcare field consistently, further developing a profound interest in the family as a system. While attending K-State, I have put my passion for families in all different walks of life to use. Currently, I engage in research with the Divorce Education Assessment Collaborative Group (DEAC), evaluating the efficacy of current divorce education programs. My career aspirations involve co-parent education/research, family consulting, as well as couple/family therapy. In my future practice within whichever path I take, I will stay deeply committed to helping families find peace and happiness, as well as stay steadfast in my belief that every person deserves the support and guidance they need to thrive.
