Bio

I am pursuing my dream in school to become a licensed clinical psychologist offering free, culturally competent psychotherapy and assessments to adolescents who otherwise couldn't access them, paying forward what others once did for me, and teaching at a community college, where I can serve students and where I've received tremendous support myself.
