I am a first-generation college student majoring in Social Work at UNCC, passionate about increasing funding and accessibility for mental health and wellness for communities of color. My goals are to become a licensed clinical social worker and certified alcohol and drug counselor to help my local communities feel safe discussing their mental health and create a sense of empowerment amongst disenfranchised individuals. In my free time, I like to volunteer and take my cat, Peter, on walks!
