Title: Current MCH Program Student

With GW since: Fall 2025

Center Role: MCH Program Graduate Student Assistant

I Chose GW Because: I chose GW because of all the opportunities it offered me for personal and professional growth. I knew I wanted to study MCH and GW's program offers so many opportunities for students in research and practical experience, and the chance to live in DC and be at the center of so many public health developments was so exciting. After attending Admitted Students Day and seeing the community of faculty and students I would be gaining, I knew that I would be able to thrive here!

Bragging Rights: I co-wrote and defended my undergraduate honors thesis on the effects of divorce on child mental health and co-developed a web resource for families going through divorce with my best friend!

Hobbies/Personal Interests: I love to crochet, thrift, and rewatch my favorite sitcoms. I can always be enticed by any outing involving a matcha latte, a sweet treat, or a cat.

People Might Be Surprised to Know That: I was middle-named after Keanu Reeves.
