“As a recent graduate from Daemen College Master’s of Social Work Program, she is thrilled to be joining the Compeer team! Working with youth in the community gives her the opportunity to not only do what she love, but also to create equal opportunity for the individuals that Compeer serves, to change their lives.

Her experiences in community outreach and advocacy, working with youth and families with mental health challenges and life-threatening medical conditions, and group and event coordination will assist her in being successful in the role of Youth Engagement Coordinator at Compeer to continue to achieve the healing power of friendship! She already see the positive impact Compeer’s mission has on youth, adults, families, and veterans.

She is eager to be apart of the change, hope, and friendship that comes with working with an incredible organization, as it strengthens the ability to eliminate the silence surrounding mental health, and ultimately strengthening the community as a whole!”
