About

As a young professional, I have 5+ years of experience working within a wide array of industries. I am a diligent worker who applies my wealth of interdisciplinary skill set to every project I am involved with. I have a proven track record of event creation, as I have been the organizational leader for large-scale music festivals.I am a dedicated researcher, with the ability to work independently. And I have worked tirelessly within legislative action in order to facilitate proven solutions for marginalized communities. During my undergraduate career I worked as a radio engineer and concert sound designer. At WHRW 90.5 FM Binghamton and Binghamton Sound Stage and Lights I have hosted, produced and coordinated live music events. This experience allowed me to foster connections with community which I will bring with me in my career in Social Work. I strive to create warm environments in both the entertainment industry as well as policy administration. In my graduate studies, I have been working along side the Mid-Atlantic Region of the U.S. Department of Labor - Women’s Bureau. In this role I have worked with our Policy Analysts to educate stakeholders within the region about policies that influence women in the workplace. Moreover, I have engaged with research in various sectors to ensure an equitable workplace for women. I am currently with Graham Windham as a Clinical Care Coordinator, applying my expertise in order of providing excellent behavioral, mental and developmental health care to foster children across New York City.
