Since 2010, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a minister and director of a non-profit organization, where I’ve counseled couples, families, young children, and veterans. My passion lies in helping others improve their emotional and relational well-being by offering support, empathy, and guidance through life’s most challenging seasons.

I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Capella University, building on my Bachelor of Arts in Ministry with a major in Counseling. My journey into the field of professional counseling was deeply personal—after witnessing the positive impact skilled counselors had on my own family during a difficult time, I knew I wanted to be a source of that same healing for others.

When I’m not studying or working, I enjoy learning new things and exploring new places. Life is a continuous journey, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to grow and walk alongside others on theirs.
