Personal Statement

I’m committed to helping others recognize their patterns and the connections in their experiences that are contributing to the difficulties they are enduring; in hopes of making positive changes in their lives. I am particularly passionate about helping those with minority identities navigate cultural and structural forces and barriers that are also impacting their lives.
