I completed a Masters of Social Work at the University of Windsor in 2022. I also hold an Honours Bachelors Degree in Developmental Psychology, which was completed in 2009 at the University of Windsor.

In addition to these degrees, I completed a Certificate in Business Administration with York University in 2022. I obtained a Developmental Services Worker Diploma at St. Clair College in 2009.

In addition to having completed these formal educational programs, I am trained in suicide intervention and am a certified trainer in behaviour management program delivery. 

I am continuously engaged in professional development. Some of the most recent conferences or trainings I have attended have centered on eating disorders, mental health first aid, solution focused approaches, motivational interviewing, professional certification in trauma and resilience (levels 1 and 2) and brain story certification, to name a few. 

I am a member in good standing with my regulating professional body, the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I am a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers and am insured for private practice.

I have worked with the French Catholic School board for the last 16 years. During 12 of those years, I worked as a Child and Youth Worker. In that position I worked closely with elementary students of all ages to develop anger management skills and social skills. Additionally, I delivered presentations in class on a range of subjects; from bullying to team building. 

During the last three years I have worked as a social worker with the board. In this position I have helped students develop the skills and strategies needed to overcome anxiety, develop emotion regulation skills as well as executive functioning abilities. 

I have also worked as an independent contractor these past three years for a company that provides support to university students. In this position I have helped clients with issues such as stress and time management, facing OCD, understanding different diagnoses, establishing boundaries and healthy relationships. Clients have varied in ages from late teens to mature students in their fifties. 

I have also provided supervision to University of Windsor students during their BSW and MSW placements.
