Summary

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a desire to help and guide others. I like to think I am someone who genuinely cares about people and building meaningful connections. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience mentoring youth and young adults, leading teams, and helping others navigate through tough emotional and social challenges. I’m patient and approachable, able to build trust and support people in difficult moments with calmness and empathy. I’m passionate about empowering individuals to grow and thrive in safe, supportive spaces where they feel valued and understood.
