What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support individuals in their personal growth and development, ideally in a collaborative and inclusive environment.

I am a dedicated professional with a diverse background in education, mental health counseling, and coaching. My experiences have honed my interpersonal and communication skills, allowing me to effectively assist individuals from various backgrounds. I thrive in environments that require innovative problem-solving and persistence, ensuring that I meet goals with excellence and efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles, from tutoring students to coordinating accessibility services at Mississippi College. My commitment to supporting others is evident in my work as a Staff Counselor, where I assisted individuals in improving their mental health and performed crisis assessments. I also have a strong foundation in coaching, having developed practice plans and coordinated team activities for college athletes.

With a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Psychology, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to make a positive impact in any role I undertake. I am eager to continue my professional journey, leveraging my skills to contribute to a supportive and dynamic team.
