My Story

As a kid, my development was bolstered through the services provided to myself and my family. I have always been deeply passionate about helping others and understanding the human mind. I have many interests in the social sciences, and I am able to use these different experiences and theories to create a more holistic understanding of wellness and equity.

My Eyas Landing

I was researching programs supporting underserved youth in the area, and I was pleasantly surprised to find Merlin Day Academy and the vast services the team provides to local learners. I believe it is critical to ensure youth receive the support they need to become the best version of themselves and to live a happy and healthy life.

My Professional Goals

  1. To gain experience working to support children’s mental health.
  2. To use this experience to determine a graduate program to pursue.
  3. To continue my work as a helping professional working with kids and families.
