Interest

My introduction to social action during my first year of college completely changed the trajectory of my life. I had been so insulated from the world before college, that I had not thought much about social justice and my role in advocating for it. Those experiences are why I am a Social Worker and have dedicated my life to advocating for those who are in need and being willing to act when needed. I want to provide this knowledge and experience to my students.
