Bio

I am a graduate student pursuing higher education while navigating significant personal and family challenges that have strengthened my resilience, compassion, and determination. My academic interests include psychology, mental health awareness, and community-centered support services, with a long-term goal of helping underserved communities access better care, advocacy, and resources. My journey has been shaped by both personal and family experiences with mental health, medical hardship, and financial adversity. Despite these obstacles, I remain committed to continuing my education and building a future focused on service, empowerment, and growth. Balancing academics alongside caregiving responsibilities and personal recovery has taught me perseverance, adaptability, and the importance of empathy. In addition to my academic goals, I am passionate about entrepreneurship, advocacy, and creating opportunities that positively impact others. I believe education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking cycles of hardship and creating lasting change, & I am determined to use my experiences to inspire and support others facing similar challenges.
