Bio

I am passionate about advocating for and supporting people in my community. I grew up in a rural town and understand the hardships that can result from a lack of access to resources. I am currently pursuing a BSW with a minor in Criminology, with a focus on a macro route to advocate for others on a policy level. My role as a social worker will be to support others and provide resources in helping them learn how to improve their self efficacy and quality of life.
