Position: Wellness Coach for the LA CrUE team
What led you to your current position? I began my career in a field-based intensive mental health program centered around children in foster care. After five years of working closely with these youth, I realized there was an immense need for support within school systems. Seneca has presented me with the opportunity to provide students with support, consistency, and the necessary tools to build the life they deserve.
What inspires you to do this work? I am forever inspired by the students and children I work with. I have the privilege of witnessing their resilience, curiosity, intelligence, and kindness. Additionally, being surrounded by other professionals who choose to lead with love and curiosity inspires me to show up authentically and meet students where they are at.
What is a recent highlight you’ve experienced in the work or an important lesson you’ve learned in this role? A highlight that I have experienced is seeing students overcome personal situations that felt impossible for them, seeing them build healthier connections, and seeing them invest in themselves and their future.
Share your life motto or something unique about yourself. A quote I often refer back to is "Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach". I find this helpful both in professional and personal situations, as it helps me stay true to myself.
