Current Whereabouts:
I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking and skiing, and I love relaxing with my dogs. My greatest joy comes from sharing time with my husband, family, and friends, whether it’s a simple get-together or new adventure. I am also focused on my academic success, staying motivated in my psychology studies, and finding balance between school, work, and the people and activities that bring me happiness.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
My life and career aspirations are centered on making a meaningful impact in the field of mental health. Having worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant, Med Assistant, and TMS Coordinator, I have seen firsthand the challenges patients face in accessing care and the importance of compassionate, evidence-based treatment. These experiences have motivated me to pursue a degree in Psychology at North Carolina Central University with the goal of becoming a licensed psychologist.
In the future, I aspire to provide clinical care to individuals struggling with mental health conditions while also advocating for systemic improvements that expand access to equitable, patient-centered services. I want to combine clinical practice, research, and advocacy to help reduce stigma, improve resources, and support communities in need.
