I am a School-Based Therapist Intern with Catalyst Counseling and am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work degree at The Ohio State University. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in December 2025 and currently hold my Social Work Trainee License.
I have always had a strong passion for supporting children and their emotional well-being, and I am grateful to be part of a team dedicated to helping students succeed both academically and personally. My passion for mental health has led me to gain experience supporting individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts through my involvement with Hope Squad, a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program focused on promoting mental health awareness, reducing stigma, and encouraging students to seek help and support when needed.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring photography and art, and caring for my pets—a Labrador Retriever and an orange cat. I am excited to support the students and families at Batavia Elementary School and look forward to building meaningful connections within the school community.
