In one-on-one mentorship I work directly with women and women’s health coordination addressing biological, social, emotional development including, embodied healing, restoration, resilience, and Community resilience which I have also applied in my advocacy work.

Special Skills: The through line in my professional (and volunteer outreach) experience is a depth of applied knowledge in the fields of human services, care coordination, education, counseling, and advocacy.
