She has worked for various higher education institutions and within a clinical setting. She says she has thoroughly enjoyed working with the neurodivergent student population and learned so much along her journey. She also has enjoyed learning more about the difference in approaches in supporting the neurodivergent students in a variety of different settings. As a first-generation student, she says she's confident that the only reason she is where she is today is because of the higher education professionals and mentors that have supported her along the way.
