Education
Columbia University, Master of Education, Psychological Counseling, 2019 — This degree prepares professionals to work in a variety of settings, including those that emphasize health (e.g., outpatient clinics, hospitals, nursing homes). Graduates are able to apply their skills in clinical practice, administration, assessment, and research as well as to produce knowledge, to be leaders in policy development and implementation, and to work in independent practice.
Columbia University, Master of Arts, Mental Health Counseling, 2018 — This degree is dedicated to the preparation of professionals who facilitate the optimal development of individuals, groups, and organizations through strategies of prevention, intervention, and remediation that are culturally-relevant and psychologically-appropriate across the lifespan.
Work HistoryBefore coming to Le Mental Health Counseling, I worked as a wellness coordinator at Montefiore Community Center where I incorporated wellness into their various programs within the Child Development Center. I have also worked as a Crisis Counselor under a FEMA contract during and post the COVID-19 pandemic.
