I have an MSW and am working towards becoming a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Outside of work (and sometimes in sessions) I love to build LEGO and craft. In the summers, you will find me out kayaking. I enjoy spending time with my family, including my 3 cats. A passion of mine is cooking and baking, specifically adapting recipes to meet different dietary needs so everyone can feel included at food-centered gatherings.
