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, assisting users in navigating and resolving their technical challenges. 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. Currently, I work as a Mountain Guide at Seneca Rocks Mountain Guides, where I share my enthusiasm for the outdoors while ensuring safety and fostering a connection with nature for my clients.
I am moving forward to a career in mental health support with a focus on underprivileged populations. I hope to focus on indigenous and refugee populations, bringing mental health support to the doorsteps of the people who need it most.
