The professional part of my story goes like this

 

I studied social communication and social development, where I learned how to investigate, collect, and present information as a news story through radio and television. I immersed myself in working on health and communities during this time. However, I felt that those interactions were not enough and that I wanted to know people more profoundly. Then, later in my life, I pursued a master's degree in clinical mental health at The University of St. Thomas.

​

I did my clinical training at St. Joseph Hospital-Houston, which is a psychiatric facility. In addition to treating patients with a wide array of issues, I ran groups and psychotherapy with persons suffering from bipolar disorder, borderline personality, complex trauma, major depressive disorder, addiction, sexual abuse, schizophrenia, and suicidal and homicidal ideation. In my private practice internship, I worked under the supervision of Dr. William July with people who wanted to improve their mental health, solve certain problems that interfere with their daily lives, or struggle with trauma, depression, or anxiety, and that became a significant focus of my practice today.
