About Me:

My love of working with children and families began when I was in college working with individuals with intellectual disabilities in Spokane, WA. I was initially interested in serving disproportionately impacted and marginalized communities, so I pursued a double major in Criminal Justice and Psychology at Gonzaga University. Upon graduating, I moved to Seattle and worked for 3.5 years as a paraprofessional in special education classrooms in Seattle Public Schools. This work experience helped refine my interests and passion about working with children and families, which led me to the University of Washington where I am pursuing my Ph.D. in School Psychology. My research interests are guided by hypotheses around non-suicidal self-injury and adaptive coping strategies to support social and emotional development.
