Why Mental Health?
Mental health is important to me because of my personal experience and my observance of social occurrences. My goal is to be a part of the mission to distigmatize the outlook of mental health. Creates spaces that support growth.
Where I Started
My career was originally set on the path to being a fashion designer. After taking classes, I decided to pivot to a degree in social science. Due to personal experiences and the social climate around mental health, I was led to my current career in mental health advocacy.
Where I Am Now
At this moment in my career, I am in a position to utilize my various skill sets and continue to hone in and grow as a mental health advocate and sales manager. This current chapter in my career has provided me with the opportunity to be exposed to various perspectives. In this light, I am in a space where I can truly be a metaphorical sponge and continue to grow within my career.
Where I'm Going
Looking at the future of my career path, I envision myself combining creativity and advocacy. Finding creative ways to inspire our community through events, fundraising, and grass roots initiatives. Overall, my goal is to aid in fostering a community of understanding and support.
