Experience: Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology and a focus on Child and Family Studies. Pursuing a master's degree in social work, along with a trauma treatment certificate and school social work licensure. Almost two years of experience working at a Boys & Girls Club as a Youth Development Associate. Regular volunteer for over a year at the Muse Knoxville.

Why Boys & Girls Club: I chose Boys & Girls Club because I am deeply committed to making a meaningful impact on children’s lives. I hope to serve as a consistent and supportive presence as they grow and navigate new experiences, offering guidance and encouragement during important stages of their development. With a background in psychology, I see this organization as an excellent opportunity to apply my knowledge in a way that supports children’s overall development and well-being. I am particularly interested in fostering their social and emotional growth by helping them build confidence, develop positive coping skills, and form healthy relationships. I also value the importance of collaboration and strive to contribute to a supportive, inclusive environment that best serves the diverse needs of children. I hope to help create a space where every child feels safe, respected, and empowered. I am enthusiastic about building strong connections, encouraging personal growth, and supporting young individuals as they work toward their full potential.
