It took me awhile to decide what route I wanted to take after I graduated with my BA. I began my journey working as an ABA therapist and moved up to a Child Development Specialist which made me realize how much I enjoy helping others move closer to their goals. My own journey in my self-improvement also inspired me to help others grow. I was going to go for a LCSW but knew LMFT was what better mirrored where I wanted to be (even though they can be similar).

I have not completely narrowed down what population I want to work with yet, but know that adults are more of my aim. Ideally, I would want to work with others who are around my age and below! I still have a passion working with children and would want to either work with adults, teens, or children. Of course, families who have all of these populations would be great too. I would also love to work with my Latinx population as I am a first-generation Latina.

This is my little sister Emily. We have a 24 year age gap (she's four) and I love her so much! It's been great watching her grow up and can't wait to see her grow into her personality.

One of the closest people to me. Alysah and I have been best friends since our biology class in middle school and pretty much grew up together. My mom calls her, her blonde daughter!

This is my cat, Mushi! I've had him since 2016 and he's about to be 7 years old! He likes to make appearances on zoom and is the perfect cuddle buddy.
