Bio

I’m an MSW student at the University of Minnesota with undergraduate degrees in Social Work and Women’s and Gender Studies from the University of New Hampshire. I’m hoping to get into the field of macro social work and work for a policy-focused and education and advocacy-based non-profit organization that focuses on social justice issues.
