What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow professionally while making a meaningful impact in the community.

As a dedicated Human Services professional, I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of individuals and communities. With a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University, I have honed my skills in understanding social problems and developing effective interventions. My academic achievements, including a GPA of 3.92, reflect my commitment to excellence in this field.

Throughout my experiences, I have worked in various roles that have allowed me to engage directly with diverse populations. As an Assistant Teacher at Lewis C. Cassidy School, I collaborated with lead teachers to support students' learning and development. My role as an Outreach and Event Coordinator for The Parkinson Council enabled me to connect with the Parkinson’s community, enhancing awareness and providing essential resources. Additionally, my internship at Penn Neurology Pennsylvania Hospital involved recruiting research participants and facilitating support groups, further solidifying my dedication to improving the lives of those affected by movement disorders.
