ABOUT ME
I'm a college student studying Psychology, Sociology, and Creative Writing (poetry writing) at UNC Chapel Hill. I work as a caseworker with newly-arrived refugee families and have experience as a state coordinator for Amnesty International, a life skills coach to teens with autism, a legal intern with the NAACP, and as a researcher on various projects relating to mental health and human rights. My dream is to work at the intersection of these fields as a writer, teacher, and advocate.
