Favorite Quote: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Satayana

What would people be surprised to know about you? 

One of my surprising skills is the knowledge and ability to rebuild a Ford Model T. It was something I learned through my job at the Henry Ford Museum, and was my favorite part of that job.

Name a cause you are passionate about.

LGBTQIA+ rights are a cause that needs to be given more care and attention. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly and equally, and not be discriminated against because of who they were born as and who they truly are inside.

Why did you chose MSP?

MSP had the approach to therapy I was looking for, and an approach to academics that fit my goals.

What do you plan to do with your degree?

I hope to be working with LGBTQIA+ clients and groups to promote better mental health and societal awareness and understanding.
