Summary
I am an LMSW with 3.5 years of experience in mobile crisis response, including 1 year as a supervisor. I graduated with my MSW from the University of Southern Mississippi. and BSW from Mississippi State University. I was recognized as Social Work Student of the Year in my cohort at USM. I also have internship experience in family intervention, inpatient mental health, and group-based therapy services. During the course of my time at Pine Belt Mental Healthcare Resources, two members of my team and I were recognized by the Mississippi DMH and featured on local news after a crisis call during which we assisted someone off of train tracks when he was injured and unable to move himself off the tracks. I am currently in the process of LCSW supervision and about halfway through the process.
