Summary

I am a passionate, justice-motivated, honors student seeking admittance into the University of Michigan's School of Social Work to pursue my MSW. My goal is to be an LCSW and community advocate for survivors of sexual violence. Additionally, I'd like to specialize in working with adolescents and as a mental health provider for activists. I bring experience as a former climate justice activist and competence working with youth as an educator and child care provider, which will uniquely serve me in my practicum and post-graduate practice.
