Student Fellow / Litmus
Biography
She's completed her first-year social work field placement as an intern at Brooklyn Defenders, and is currently completing her second year field placement at Morris Heights Behavioral Health Center providing outpatient therapy. She is excited to continue in her clinical, micro-level social work roles to improve the wellbeing of our communities, but she is passionate about the importance of addressing the loneliness and social isolation epidemic at the institutional and systemic levels in this work. Throughout her career, she hopes to promote the intersection of the social work and public health fields to improve the largely neglected social health and wellness of our communities, and improve health outcomes through integrative policy and interventions.
