Hello!

As mentioned above I got a psychology major at Indiana University–Indianapolis with a minor in forensic science. I have a strong interest in mental health, justice, and prevention-focused work. I was involved in the Peer Prevention Education Program through CAPS at IU Indianapolis and served as a Wellness Ambassador on campus. In both roles, I helped lead campus education on suicide prevention, substance use, and mental health awareness. I also continue to serve as a teen support group leader for Ambassadors of Hope, creating trauma-informed spaces that promote trust, resilience, and emotional expression for teens.

​

Additionally, I was selected to serve on the Chancellor’s Mental Health Council my senior year, where I collaborated on research examining student mental health needs and access to resources on campus. The rest of the council and I presented our findings and recommendations to the Chancellor in April 2026. I have also worked as a teaching assistant for Research Methods in Psychology (Lecture) and served as an Honors College peer mentor, supporting students academically and socially.

​

My other academic and professional experiences include an internship with the Marion County Juvenile Probation Department, an internship at Beacon of Hope Crisis Center (a domestic violence and sexual assault NGO), a study abroad program in Croatia focused on social work in post-war communities, campus employment at the IU Indianapolis Fitness Center, and two years as a member of the IU Indianapolis women’s soccer team. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of how environment, trauma, and access to resources shape behavior.

 

I plan to pursue graduate school to become a forensic social worker, with the goal of integrating prevention, compassionate care, and evidence-based practices to support underserved and justice-involved populations.
