What’s 1 fun fact about yourself? 

I have a daughter and a son who are my entire world!

What’s your favorite self-care activity?  

Getting my nails done or having a shopping day! 

What’s your favorite thing to do with a friend?   

Go to lunch and just sit and talk. 

I have been part of the Compeer team since 2017, contributing to our mission of supporting mental health through friendship.

My role at Compeer is to be a leader in the community with training and informing individuals on the topic of mental health for all ages. I work to normalize conversations about mental wellness, contribute to decreasing the mental health stigma, and to cultivate a safe space for people to learn and improve their skills and personal or professional culture of mental health. 

What I enjoy most about working at Compeer is getting to work with so many people in different professions, backgrounds, and experiences to come together for a common goal of wanting to help those who struggle with their mental wellbeing.
