Austin, Texas, United States
I recently completed my Master of Science in Social Work at the Steve Hicks School of Social Work, with a concentration in clinical social work. Through this program, I developed a strong foundation in social work theories and approaches, along with practical experience applying them in diverse settings through meaningful practicum placements. These experiences have deepened my commitment to working with individuals experiencing mental health challenges. I am excited to begin my journey working as part of an interdisciplinary team delivering compassionate, client-centered care.
