Began my career in behavioral health, working in psychiatric hospitals, a hospital emergency room as a crisis counselor, and a community mental health center supporting K–12 students. Delivered 1:1 counseling, group counseling, and psycho-educational groups as part of a treatment team alongside psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers. This work built the foundation for how I approach data and higher education today: listening closely to understand a problem, communicating clearly with people from different disciplines, collaborating across a team, and staying calm and focused under pressure — the same human-centered skills I bring to translating complex data into insights people can act on.
