After 6 years as a public high school teacher, I firsthand witnessed the mental health disparities that are our kid are facing. I went to nursing school to better understand and advocate for adolescent mental health with the hope to one day create mental health curriculum within our schools.

I believe that our mental health is truly the center of our wellbeing. NOAH allows for collaborative and comprehensive care – that means that my client has access to medical, nutrition, dental, behavioral health, and psychiatric services, all working together to best serve them!

I try to spend my time surrounded by family and friends. I work out to help maintain my mental health. I am a cat mom – I rescued 2 adorable cats that now seem to run the household.

I would move all the family into one big ranch. I would love to be able to provide for my entire family. I also would make sure arts programs throughout Az public schools stayed funded; band was such an integral piece to my social life and educational pursuits.
