What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed interventions to support holistic well-being, mentor clients, and contribute to a compassionate, growth-focused team.

I am a peer support and wellness coach applying biopsychosocial, biohacking, and neuroscience-informed approaches to help individuals build resilience, regulate emotions, and recover holistically. With a B.S. in Criminal Justice and planned graduate study in psychology, I blend evidence-based practices—CBT-informed strategies, trauma-informed care, and applied research in human behavior—to mentor, de-escalate crises, and create safe, supportive environments for growth.

My hands-on experience spans peer support, childcare, program aide work, and youth leadership, where I designed interventions, mediated conflict, and strengthened social-emotional development. I emphasize cultural competence, calm communication, and practical coping strategies to empower clients and communities to navigate stressors and achieve sustained well-being.
