Get To Know Me
Based in Central Texas, I am currently a Permanency Specialist at SJRC Texas | Belong, working directly on the frontlines to support children and families navigating the foster care system. My career is focused in serving others through trauma-informed care and community based solutions.
With a BA in Political Science focused in Public Administration and Policy from Texas Lutheran University and nearly a decade of dedicated gun violence prevention advocacy, I focus on transforming community struggles into actionable policy solutions. This fall, I am expanding this impact as an incoming MSW/MPP dual-degree student at the University of Houston, anchoring my practice at the intersection of social work and public policy.
