Work HistoryMy connection to arts and healing was first sparked during my five summers of volunteering as an Arts in Medicine volunteer at children’s hospitals where I witnessed the joy and comfort art can bring even during such difficult times. Inspired by the resiliency of the little hands that touched my heart, I went on to study art therapy to become a practicing art therapist. During MY program, I gained experience during my first internship at a residential facility which works alongside those navigating substance use challenges. There I ran the weekly art therapy groups for all clients, traditional talk therapy support groups, individual art therapy sessions, and had a client caseload. During my practicum/internship year, I went on to work at a local outpatient non-profit organization that offers low cost services to the Austin area community. There I held a client caseload which was mixed with in person sessions and telehealth depending on client preference. I went on to create an in person weekly art therapy group for adults where clients processed life transitions through altered bookmaking. Before becoming an art therapist, I spent ten years in public schools as an art educator. I worked at the elementary and secondary levels where I gained experience in working with diverse populations. I have experience founding and running art clubs as well as community outreach through projects such as Empty Bowls. My passion for advocacy and inclusion started way before becoming a caregiver for my daughter. During my undergraduate studies, I interned at The Arc of The Arts in Austin which provides a beautiful studio space for adults with differing abilities to express themselves, gain independence, and lifelong skills. I went on to collaborate with the special education department at my first school to make sure all students within the life skills classroom had meaningful art experiences. Additionally, I have years of experience creating artwork on the streets of downtown Houston, Texas to raise money for the Center for Hearing and Speech. My passion and drive has increased two-fold with my daughter’s lifelong diagnosis of Angelman Syndrome. In 2022, I co-coordinated a walk which raised $15,000 towards the Angelman Syndrome Foundation, research, and support for families. I am committed to honoring the identities and cultures of my clients. I take part in ongoing cultural humility and believe in inclusion for all abilities. I celebrate individual’s uniqueness and am committed to empowering my clients and making sure their voices are always heard.
