Summary

I am a Mental Health Therapist who is passionate about mental health when it comes to underrepresented populations. I have just over three years of experience in mental health/clinical positions and all of this work has been with underrepresented populations. I also have much experience working in higher education settings as a graduate assistant as well as undergraduate student worker. With my clinical training and experience serving underrepresented and student populations and through my own experiences, I have affirmed my passion and believe I can make a great addition to the Marquette Counseling center.
