About

Currently I am a Crisis Outreach Case Manager for New River Valley Community Services. I recently graduated from Virginia Tech with a Bachelor of Science with a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. My senior semester I co-authored a study titled "Breaking Gender Stereotypes and School Victimization" that has been invited to be presented at the annual meeting of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS), Orlando, FL. One of my greatest passions is advocating for equality for all people. This passion is why I intend to complete a Masters of Social Work in the near future.
