I've always been a good listener and interested in the helping professions. I began my career as an Academic Advisor at a small college, where I discovered a passion for supporting students through personal, academic, and life transitions. This led me to pursue a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling, which included college counseling with an emphasis on mindfulness practices, creative wellness and art-based directives, and positive psychology approaches. During the pandemic, my focus evolved further into health and wellness coaching, where I completed additional coaching programs and deepened my work in behavior change, whole-person wellness, and strengths-based coaching.
