I’m a graduate student at Grand Canyon University pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’m passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward healing, self-understanding, and emotional wellness.

With a background in hospitality, I bring strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and the ability to create a comfortable, client-centered environment.
