There, she gained experience as an intern in a community health center working in HIV prevention and outreach in the city of Tallahassee. She moved to Miami to complete a Master of Public Health from the University of Miami and a Master of Science in Counselor Education from Florida International University. Her passion for mental health began with working in behavioral and public health through community outreach and HIV research.
