FinalistBio
Hello! I am a SAG-AFTRA actor and MSW candidate at NYU Silver School of Social Work. Drawing from my personal experiences with epilepsy and OCD, my goal is to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and writer exploring OCD and invisible disabilities. Ultimately, I hope to build a private practice in NYC focused on creatives and young adults navigating LGBTQ+ issues, life-altering illnesses, OCD, and anxiety.
While at NYU, I will work with a caseload of middle school students in the Bronx. My experiences as an actor have taught me patience, spontaneity, curiosity, and the importance of truly listening—skills I believe will serve me well throughout this school year and in my future clinical practice.
I am passionate about making the most of my graduate school experience and look forward to taking this next step toward becoming a psychotherapist.
