My Greatest Supporters

My greatest supporters have been my family. My mother, Suzette, has been a steadfast person in my life supporting my dreams and cheering me on. My fiancé, Phazon, has also been my rock during this process reminding that I CAN accomplish my goals and loving me every step of the way. The countless prayers and well wishes from all my friends and family have been the foundation for my success.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

My favorite memories at Saint Mary's were the lunches I would have with my friends our first year while we spent our Saturdays in Counseling Skills Class. My colleagues shared snacks, laughs, and love. The deepest secrets and tears we shared inside and outside the classroom have informed the therapist I will be tomorrow.

My Next Chapter

I will be marrying the love of my life in 2022! The next twelve months will be dedicated to planning my wedding, applying to doctorate programs, and moving to Las Vegas, NV! My next steps will include narrowing my focus on social justice and providing equitable mental health services to underserved communities.

Favorite Quote

I want to be remembered as someone who used herself and anything she could touch to work for justice and freedom... I want to be remembered as one who tried.
