  I am very excited to be a part of the BCS team! Prior to working in Birmingham, I worked as a School Psychologist in Eastpointe Community Schools. I received my master's degree in School and Community Psychology from Wayne State University. While in graduate school, I gained diverse experience working in both the school and clinical settings. I worked at Cruz Clinic, an outpatient mental health clinic. In this role I served as an assistant to a psychiatrist and helped facilitate a group therapy for adults struggling with depression. I also worked at Hawthorn Hospital in Northville. Further, I spent a semester volunteering in a second grade classroom in Oak Park Public Schools and completed my school psychology internship in Berkley Public Schools.
