I am a recent graduate from The University of Michigan School of Social Work. Prior to graduating with my Masters of Social Work I attended Nichols College where I earned a BA in Criminal Justice and Psychology. I have worked to support different communities and populations through education and advocacy. I have experience working with children diagnosed with ASD and other develop disabilities, as well youth experiencing mental health struggles. When I was younger, I assisted in developing and executing fundraisers for organizations that I was involved in. Since graduating from UofM I have looked for more ways to share this passion and further support communities I care for, and I am excited to be a part of the Work and Play's team!
