Professional Interests: Throughout my journey, I have had a passion for mental well-being and the higher education setting. I found an opportunity at the University of Oregon’s Office of Academic Advising which allowed me to use both my enthusiasm and skill to support the overall well-being of undergraduate students. During my time in that role, I was able to advocate for accessible practices, particularly for students who were struggling academically. My current role as the lead mental well-being specialist for University Health Services allows me to continue to advocate and support students on a systemic level. My favorite part of my work is the opportunity to get to know students in different parts of their academic, professional, and personal journeys.
