Education
Biography
During this time, I was a phone operator on a local crisis and suicide prevention hotline, Crisis Connections, providing emotional assistance and housing/financial resources to the greater Seattle area. Simultaneously, I began volunteering with the Pedaling Relief Project, a group that aimed to develop community resilience and mutual aid networks through a coordinated effort of cyclists transporting donations to local food banks, shelters, and food pantries.
Outside of work and school I like to spend my time watching funny bad movies, getting outdoors and in the trees, cycling, reading, and playing board games. I am especially thankful for my family and friends for supporting me along this journey. I am thrilled to be a part of this amazing cohort and program and can't wait for what is in store for us future genetic counselors!
