Throughout her academic career, her academic foundation was laid at the University of Michigan, where she earned a Master’s degree in Social Work in 2021. Building upon this educational cornerstone, she is currently immersed in training for Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), with aspirations to further her expertise through training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and somatic practices through dance and body movement. Additionally, her role as a Research Assistant for Trauma-Informed Programs and Practices for Schools (TIPPS) in Ann Arbor, Michigan underscores her commitment to advancing trauma-informed practices.

She was an executive board member for the Child Welfare Student Association and also worked with child protective services (CPS) on the central registry through the Child and Adolescent Data Lab at the University of Michigan School of Social Work during her studies.

She hopes to teach in higher education and continually serve clients later on in her career.
