Student U has been a staple in my life for nearly 20 years. I have always embraced career opportunities that allow me to drive change and improve systems designed to let students like me fall through the cracks. Student U continues to do the long and hard work. I am grateful for the opportunity to advise other professionals and expand my knowledge and awareness of other dreamers and do-ers on the regional and state level who want healthy outcomes for children/youth and families.
I enjoy spending quality time with close friends, family, and my 4-year-old fur-daughter, Enzo. I am always on board to travel, domestically or internationally, and create new memories. I am the oldest of five and enjoy supporting my siblings in every academic and extracurricular activity. I also love trying new restaurants and exploring new date-night activities with my significant other, Maurice.
“Remember to Offer Grace from Within”: We often forget that the toughest criticism usually comes from within. It is essential to be the first person to offer yourself grace as you navigate the systems around you.
