Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, I studied Sociology at UC Santa Cruz, graduating in 2022, before diving into my first year of the MSW program at UCLA. I’m passionate about making a difference for individuals impacted by incarceration and reducing recidivism rates. With a background in outreach, advocacy, and grant writing, I’m excited to bring my skills to this internship and help create positive change. As a longtime advocate for therapy—I’ve been in it since my teenage years—I’m especially drawn to clinical work. When I’m not hitting the books, you can find me exploring local coffee shops or playing my guitar!
