Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Graduate of Boston College with an M.A. in Theology and Ministry and an MSW in Macro Social Work, dedicated to social justice, community care, and holistic wellbeing. I recently completed my dual‑degree formation while supporting operations at MIT’s Wellbeing Lab, contributing to initiatives that strengthen resilience, belonging, and compassionate campus culture. Rooted in Jesuit values of reflection, service, and justice, I integrate spiritual insight with trauma‑informed and equity‑centered practice. My work focuses on creating inclusive environments where people feel seen, heard, and empowered, especially those navigating marginalization or systemic barriers. I am passionate about the intersections of faith, advocacy, healing, and social impact, and I value connecting with others who are building communities grounded in dignity and care.
