Bio

My core life goal is to earn my Associate's Degree in Social and Human Services with a track in Addiction and Recovery by Spring 2027, which is the essential first step toward a fulfilling career in social work or psychiatry. I am profoundly passionate about helping individuals who are dealing with addiction and incarceration. My drive stems from a deep, personal understanding—having navigated the challenges of poverty, the foster care system, addiction, and incarceration myself, I know the profound effort it takes to rebuild a life. My personal journey has instilled in me the empathy, resilience, and unwavering commitment necessary to support others in bettering their lives and building a future that truly matters. I am a great candidate because I bring not just academic interest, but real-world, lived experience and grit to this vital field.
