About me: As a Certified Health Education Specialist, I am dedicated to supporting the well-being of my community and empowering people to make informed choices about their health. I will strive to advocate for all AU students to get the care and resources they need. Whether it is related to food, housing, clothing, or financial insecurity, my goal is to be the centralized point of contact all AU students feel comfortable reaching out to; I also want them to know that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but rather a sign of immense courage. After hours, I enjoy reading, spending time with family, and snuggling with my tabby cat, Leo.
