Position: I have the very unique opportunity to be working as the Integration community therapist also known as the newcomer therapist in the UE Berkeley.
What led you to your current position? I’ve had the opportunity to support newcomers in fostering a sense of belonging, creating inclusivity, and uniting them to the communities around them.
What inspires you to do this work? The resiliency and hard work my students bring into all aspects of their lives. Their perseverance makes my job meaningful and rewarding every single day.
What is a recent highlight you’ve experienced in the work or an important lesson you’ve learned in this role? Viewing the joy my students have being able to attend their first haunted house, going to the museum, seeing a UC Berkeley basketball game, or the simple the opportunity to cook pancakes is a reminder of the simplicity of life we sometimes take for granted. Witnessing the progress and success of our families as they navigate new systems and integrate into society has been deeply rewarding.
Share your life motto or something unique about yourself. My life motto is helping others if you would like to be helped. I strive to support my clients and families in the best ways possible with compassion, empathy, and kindness.
