Personal Summary

I was born and raised in Hamilton, Montana on a small ranch outside of town. I moved to Missoula in 2012 to persue an undergraduate degree in Social Work, graduating in December of 2016. After working in the Missoula community with children and families for a few years, I returned to get my Master's in the Fall of 2019, the first in my family to attend graduate school. I am currently in my second and final year of my program, and hope to continue my work with children and families after receiving my degree and eventually licensure.
