Pains: A Portrait of Black Women's Health in South Los Angeles, is a

health that impact what it means to be "well" as a low-income black
woman in South Central.

Currently, she is a Special Services Interventionist and Grade Level
Chair (overseeing Grade 10) at Collegiate Charter High School of Los
Angeles. Starting in 2017, she began developing an advisory and

with building a college-going identity, developing social and academic
skills, and learning coping skills to help them identify, express, and
regulate their emotions. Through anti-biased social-emotional based
programming, she has supported school leadership with reducing
suspensions by over 97% and advanced the school's mission of preparing
all students for success in college and beyond. 98% of the seniors
that have engaged in this programming have been accepted to college
with over $1.6 million in scholarships over the last two years.

She is entering her final year of Loyola Marymount University's
Master's of Counseling with a focus on earning her PPS in School
Counseling in addition to her License in Professional Clinical
Counseling (LPCC), and will be starting her fieldwork this fall. She
is most passionate about improving health and wellness outcomes for
Black and non-Black youth of color through the development of a
