A little about me

I am a passionate, selfless student dedicated to the process of helping people achieve equality, justice and service that will enhance their well-being. I possess strong innovative communication, interpersonal and leadership skills. I am a valuable team player who works well with diverse populations in an individual and group setting. I am a highly organized individual who is good at problem-solving, exploring/assessing client needs and utilizing evidence-based practice research effectively.

Why I love my job

I am an African American woman who was raised in an impoverished neighborhood. Because of all the challenges I faced, I wanted to make sure people in my same community strive to be their best, healthiest and happiest selves. I was fortunate enough to persevere through my struggles and I want to help others do that for themselves.
