Passionate about leveraging digital media to promote well-being.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated professional with a strong background in neurobiology and psychology, currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My academic journey has been complemented by various hands-on experiences, including my role as an In-Home Caregiver, where I provide essential support to elderly clients, ensuring their comfort and well-being.
In addition to my caregiving experience, I have worked as a Research Assistant at the UW Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention, where I honed my skills in data management and participant engagement across multiple research studies. My internship at Connections Counseling allowed me to facilitate outpatient programs for individuals facing substance-use disorders, further deepening my commitment to mental health and wellness.
Outside of my professional roles, I actively engage in community service through the Badger Volunteer program, leading initiatives that support educational and recreational activities for middle school students. My involvement in Zeta Tau Alpha has also enabled me to promote wellness and inclusivity within my community, organizing events that foster a supportive environment for all.
