Professional Life

My professional journey began with a six-year run in IT User Support, where I started my lifelong career working in helping professions. As a non-traditional student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I pursued an exciting blend of Information Science and Psychology, allowing me to fuse my interests in technology with insights into human behavior. This interdisciplinary approach has provided me with a strong, holistic foundation on which to build my career in mental health support.
My love for the outdoors began during my time at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I taught climbing techniques to the university climbing club and took the initiative to establish an aerial silks community on campus. These experiences not only enhanced my leadership skills but also deepened my appreciation for nature and adventure, which led to three seasons spent guiding and teaching rock climbing at Seneca Rocks Mountain Guides in West Virginia.
Starting in Fall 2026, I came to Denver University's Masters of International Disaster Psychology program, where I focus on creative interventions for underserved populations, bringing mental health and psychosocial support to the doorsteps of the people who need it most.
