Education
California State University, Long Beach, Master of Social Work, Sexual Violence, 2013
The reason why I chose the social work profession is because its primary mission is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic and complex needs of all people, with a particular focus on those who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. Social workers do this by supporting people with self-empowerment, developing resiliency, increasing societal inclusion, and promoting safety and wellness. I received my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) undergraduate degree to delve into topics such as human behavior, the impact of our environments, social justice, and research. During my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, I was able to receive advanced clinical training in evidence-based and trauma-informed practices, which eventually led me to becoming a trauma psychotherapist. My graduate thesis was entitled "Sanctuary: A Content Analysis of Literature on Trauma-Informed Psychiatric Inpatient Treatment for Female Survivors of Rape and Sexual Assault Under Involuntary Hold (ProQuest LLC, 2013); my undergraduate project was "Effects of Restraining Orders on Episodes of Domestic Violence", and my undergraduate ethics thesis was "Study of Pedophilia".

Work History
I have practiced in a diverse range of settings, including community non-profits, outpatient clinics, street-based homeless services, jails, residential homes and facilities, police departments, courthouses, and hospitals. I also create trainings on various trauma-related topics, with the goal of creating more awareness and challenging the stigmas that so many survivors face. As a professor and clinical supervisor, I also share my passion for this work with clinicians and students who are earning their degrees in social work, counseling, psychology, and criminal justice.
