What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining clinical mental health and student support in inclusive, collaborative organizations where I can use technology, training, and community-building to improve outcomes.

I am a versatile helping-professions professional with experience in mental health counseling, academic advising, and student support, blending strong interpersonal skills with technology implementation. I have supported diverse populations across residential and outpatient settings, led advising initiatives at the collegiate level, and implemented tech solutions like Brightspace, Navigate, Credible EHR, Canvas, and Aviso to improve access and outcomes.

I excel at building trusting relationships, designing inclusive programs, and training others in tools and processes to improve performance and privacy compliance. I bring proven results in event and workshop planning, records management, and retention efforts, and I am committed to continuing growth in clinical counseling and cross-team collaboration.
