Before joining the School-Based Health Alliance in 2021, my professional experience focused on school health education programs, youth development, community-based participatory research, and health equity. My work at SBHA will include providing training and technical assistance for the Youth Safety Net Project.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master of Public Administration degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Education in Education Policy, Organization and Leadership from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I enjoy spending time with family, reading, and watching holiday movies.
