What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support youth and families, fostering growth and resilience in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated and passionate individual pursuing a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of La Verne. My academic journey has been marked by a strong commitment to psychology, as evidenced by my Master of Arts in Psychology from California State University, Los Angeles, where I achieved a GPA of 3.9. I have consistently demonstrated my academic excellence by making the President’s List and Dean’s List multiple times during my undergraduate studies at California Polytechnic State University, Pomona.

In my professional experience, I have taken on various roles that emphasize my commitment to youth development and community service. As an Older Youth Leader at Think Together, I work closely with high school students, providing mentorship and facilitating programs that promote their growth as leaders. My internship at Thaddeus Resource Center allowed me to develop programs and provide essential support services to individuals in need. Additionally, my role as a Research Assistant at Cal Poly Pomona has honed my research skills, where I utilized a feminist rhetorical resilience framework to gather and analyze stories of resilience.
