I graduated from DePaul University with a B.A. in Community Psychology. I am passionate about mental health being accessible to ALL people, using trauma informed approaches, and actively opposing the segregation of Chicago through advocacy for resources, education, and cross-community relationship building. I am a firm believer that creating connections and fostering relationships are crucial to positive growth and lasting change. I strive to create an atmosphere where all feel welcomed and seen.
As the Vice President and Director of Marketing and Outreach for Fontenelle Art, I seek to connect with individuals, organizations, schools, and communities of any kind to see how our missions can collaborate and align. Off the clock, you can catch me painting or needlepointing, doing stuff with my church, or kicking it with my cat, Mordecai.
