I run an external clinical supervision group for LMSWs whose focus is on Social Work administration, leadership, crisis intervention and behavioral health. I love the opportunity to share my experience, knowledge, and passion for social work with others.

I am the Student Coordinator for the Cherokee Community of North Texas (CCNT) to help preserve and promote Cherokee culture, language, and values. In this role I hope to help energize the next generation and create a community of 'Gadugi' or working together.

I am the designated cake baker in my family and enjoy watching cooking competitions while eating Hot Cheetos and pretending it is a fancy meal.

I love reading, learning, traveling, and spending time with my family.
