What’s 1 fun fact about yourself? 

I love the moon and weather! I love giving weather and moon phase updates to friends and coworkers.

What’s your favorite self-care activity?  

Walking and listening to true crime podcasts or books. 

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

Hang out and talk. 

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

I oversee the Peer Support Program and facilitate MHFA trainings. 

I love the work we do with our clients. Providing a comfortable environment where people can be themselves, learn new things, and meet individuals that are similar to them to create social connectedness is awesome! Our clients inspire me all the time with their stories, and I love when they reach out to tell us about a new adventure they went on, or how they overcame something because of the support we provide them.
