I am an Associate Instructor and Field Faculty member in the University of Central Florida School of Social Work. My work focuses on field education, student mentorship, community partnership development, and interprofessional education. I teach and support BSW and MSW students as they integrate classroom learning with real-world social work practice through internships in schools, healthcare settings, behavioral health agencies, and community organizations. My professional interests include trauma-informed practice, workforce development, student success, leadership development, and advancing inclusive social work education.
