I have spent much of my academic and professional career in counseling and mentoring children who struggle economically, emotionally, mentally, and physically. I have been formally trained as a crisis counselor and am eligible for a counseling license. Currently, I work as a mentor for students in their career planning. As an after-school leader, I was responsible for creating lesson plans and activities that would engage students creatively and promote critical thinking. My dedication and patience have helped me to address and cater to my student’s needs. I found through my experience as a counselor that building rapport and having empathy for my clients not only helps them to feel heard but addresses issues with the intent of resolution. I am a compassionate and hardworking person and thus strive to find methods to connect with students and their families that help build the support they need for their emotional and career development.
