About Me

As a class of 2024 graduate from St. Olaf College, my profound fascination with social impact and behavioral analysis propelled me toward a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work and Law, Order, and the Criminal Mind (Individual Major). My ambition centers on making meaningful contributions to family law, emphasizing the well-being and safety of vulnerable populations, particularly children and individuals with disabilities.

My pull to these populations has evolved through years of experience, witnessing their resilience and strength. This journey has guided me toward a path of support, empowerment, and advocacy. Aligned with the broader ethos of social work, my commitment involves being a voice for the voiceless, challenging societal norms perpetuating discrimination, and advocating for those often marginalized.

Looking ahead, I am committed to advancing my education by currently pursuing a Master of Social Work at the University of Kentucky, aspiring to acquire Applied Behavior Analysis licensure and a Juris Doctorate.

My journey includes diverse roles, such as an Undergraduate Legal Research Intern at the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, a Mental Health Equity Intern at The Healing House, and an independent researcher exploring the "Process of Reporting Suspected Abuse in Vulnerable Populations." Concurrently, my experiences in the hospitality industry, excelling as a cashier/server, call center representative, and barista/baker assistant, have honed interpersonal and customer service skills, reinforcing my dedication to fostering connections and enhancing client satisfaction.

Currently serving as a Direct Support Professional in Adult Services at Helping Hand, I provide personalized assistance, document objectives, and oversee programming for participants, contributing to their overall well-being and growth. Eagerly seeking opportunities to expand my education, broaden my professional horizons, and engage in meaningful connections, I persist in pursuing my passion for behavioral analysis and advocacy for vulnerable populations.
