Chicago, Illinois, United States
I’m a research coordinator at Northwestern University supporting statewide projects focused on youth involved in child welfare and juvenile justice systems. My work centers on evaluating youth-in-care's specific healthcare needs and translating research into insights that inform policy and practice. My professional experience includes roles across multiple Chicago nonprofits, giving me a strong foundation in advocacy, community engagement, and systems-level work. I’m currently completing my MSW, which has strengthened my research capabilities and broadened my perspective on clinical mental health and care across systems.
