I’m currently a Master of Social Work student at Florida Gulf Coast University and work as a Mental Health Navigator with Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida through Lee Health. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Michigan State University and have always been passionate about helping children, adolescents, and families navigate mental health challenges. Through both my work and internship experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to support youth facing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, behavioral concerns, and family stressors. I’m passionate about trauma-informed care and helping families feel supported and connected to the resources they need. My long-term goal is to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and continue working within pediatric mental health here in Southwest Florida. Outside of work and school, I enjoy spending time at the beach, shark tooth hunting, baking, and being involved in the community.
