At CSSP

I am a part of the Youth Power, Parent Power and Youth Thrive initiatives.

I do this work because

I am passionate about creating systems-level change for communities and amplifying community voices.

I am most proud of

My teaching experience at Children’s Aid Society and collaborating with parents to support their children in developing socioemotional and academic skills that lay a strong foundation for their K-12 education.

I like spending quality time with family and friends, and I also enjoy my alone time journaling, watching shows, and taking walks outside.
