Personal interests
I love to read and can often be found reading multiple books at a time across different genres. I feel the same about music and still wear wired, over-the-ear headphones. I cook, travel, and love to be outside in my spare time. I like to explore new places and things and continue to discover new hobbies.
Approach to wellness
I work with students on identifying appropriate resources and support systems for their current needs. Seeking help and navigating resources with someone new can be challenging and I work with students to make connections more approachable. I understand a person’s needs may be in flux and the journey to seek support is more of a landscape than a straight line. Where appropriate, I like to employ humor and laughter and encourage students to do the same.
