More About Me
I am a white, cisgender, able-bodied, queer woman. I was born in the midwest and lived there during my young childhood, but have lived in the Seattle area most of my life. When I’m not working, I love going outside, watching movies, being creative, shopping, traveling, and spending time with the people I love. I decided to go into social work/mental health when I was a teenager and my family became licensed for foster care. I have always really enjoyed working with kids and teens, and I can’t wait to get to know you!
