Position Statement
I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and have been blessed to, in various capacities, professionally serve the most underserved zip codes in the City’s region, including my home origin, 53206. I understand the intersection of mental health, poverty, economic disenfranchisement, social injustices, and environmental stressors that plague communities and marginalized populations. My hope as a participant of the NASW-WI board is to bring my lived experience as a student, constituent, professional, parent, educator, and advocate of the city of Milwaukee to endorse social justice and sound quality of practice within the field of social work.
