As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) serving in the PK-12 public school system, I bring years of experience coordinating and advocating for accessible, comprehensive mental health services for students and their families. My work focuses on creating supportive, inclusive school environments that prioritize emotional well-being and early intervention. My passion lies in promoting trauma-informed approaches, reducing stigma around mental health, and empowering school communities through knowledge, empathy, and equitable access to care.
