Sociology major

After graduating from Vassar, I started working for Joya Scholars, an education non-profit that offers free tutoring, mentoring, and college advising programs for low income, first generation students. I started as a Program Coordinator and was promoted to Advocacy Director.

After a two year break from school and while continuing my full-time job, I began my Master’s/graduate program at USC for Social Work (concentration in Children, Youth, and Families) in Fall 2021. I will be graduating in December 2023 with the goal of getting my PPS Credential and working as a School Social Worker. I also volunteer at another education non-profit as part of their Parent Outreach team.
