Completing MA in Social Work at Delaware State University
Clinical Philosophy / Approach to Care
I have been a frontline worker since the beginning of my career, handing crisis’s both over a hotline and in-person. I thrive under pressure and always prioritize a trauma-informed approach. This helps me meet children and families where they are and help them get back to where they want to be. Growing up in Delaware for most of my youth, it is my mission to help those within my community with the same care and patience if I were speaking to my younger self. It is so important to lead everyday with kindness and care to my fellow human beings. As someone completing my degree in social work, I also have a profound interest in equality and equity for all and make a priority of staying aware in order to advocate for those who are often silenced.
Personal Interests / Fun Facts
I love to cook and have been cooking meals for my family since I was around 9 years old! I also love to dance (mostly in private so I can immerse myself without judgement of others). My wind-down routine each evening often consists of a good hour of dance, a walk with my best friend (since elementary school, still close as ever), a cuddle with my 3 doggies, and a home-cooked meal! Some guilty pleasures include reality TV and The Sims 4, which I can spend days on end playing.
What Do You Enjoy About Your Work with DGS
DGS has given me so many opportunities to further my education and experience. In my time here, I have met and gotten acquainted with most if not all school administration, counselors, and of course many families and youth. It is the best feeling in the world to be recognized as the person who helped someone through a tough time, even if it is a little smile and wave as I am walking through the school to check on kids. DGS and MRSS provide a vital part of community resource and assistance, and I genuinely feel we have worked collaboratively to save countless lives.

Working with DGS has provided me with the opportunity to work with all different types of people in my community that range from ages 3-17 and from all different backgrounds.

You can either find me at the gym, sleeping, or reading a book outside on a cool and windy day
What Do You Enjoy About Your Work with DGS
One of the things I enjoy most about working as a mobile crisis clinician is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact during some of the most vulnerable moments in a person’s life. I also value being able to help clients feel heard, supported, and safe in their moment of crisis.
