Welcome!
I am a social work intern committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed support to individuals and families navigating complex life challenges. Currently pursuing my academic training in social work, I bring a strong foundation in evidence-based practice and a deep dedication to ethical, client-centered care. I am especially passionate about advocating for underserved communities and helping clients build resilience through personalized interventions and meaningful connection.
My decision to pursue a career in social work stems from a lifelong commitment to justice, empathy, and healing. Witnessing the impact of systemic barriers and emotional trauma in my community inspired me to become a practitioner who not only listens deeply but also acts with purpose. I believe in the power of relationship, advocacy, and dignity; I am driven to make a lasting difference by walking alongside others in their journey toward growth and empowerment.
