I hold a bachelor’s degree in sociology and law, as well as a master’s degree in social work, which have both shaped my commitment to making a positive impact in the field of mental health. Having lived in Los Angeles for most of my life, I am deeply inspired by the diverse community around me and the myriad of stories that shape our society. My professional journey centers on helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges, an endeavor that I find incredibly rewarding. Through my work, I strive to empower others and foster resilience, believing that everyone deserves support and understanding. In addition to my professional pursuits, I am passionate about maintaining a balanced lifestyle. I enjoy reading, running, and working out at the gym, which keep me energized and focused. I also have a love for traveling and dining, as these experiences broaden my horizons and introduce me to new cultures and perspectives. As a speaker, I actively share my insights and experiences in mental health and social work at local colleges and universities. I believe in the importance of education and dialogue around mental health issues, and I am dedicated to inspiring the next generation of social workers and advocates. Through my work and speaking engagements, I aim to raise awareness, promote understanding, and ultimately contribute to a healthier society.
