Why I joined Headstrong: Having recently received my LMSW, I was determined to work for a non-profit that aligned with my values. I also wanted to work with an organization that was putting mental health first. Headstrong presented the perfect opportunity for me to join a team doing the real work of impacting the lives of those in need on a daily basis.

What’s my role: I serve as the Grant and Prospect Research Manager.

What I like most about Headstrong: Even though I’ve joined during Covid and all remains remote, my Headstrong team members have made me feel so welcomed. As I have worked with and gotten to know everyone, the passion we all have for the mission of this organization is so real. I am truly humbled to be able to work alongside coworkers making tremendous impact everyday.

What I like to do in my spare time: In my spare time I enjoy practicing yoga and meditation, a way to reconnect with myself amongst the chaos. I also love to FaceTime my nephews in Texas, who are the funniest people I know.
