As a counselor and educator, advocacy towards inclusion, diversity, and reconciliation is important to me on both a personal and systemic level. I have worked primarily in underserved populations and am deeply committed to incorporating the development of cultural competence in my students. As a lifelong learner, I enjoy learning from my students and stretching my worldview in the classroom and as a clinician.
