I'm very excited to be co-leading CIEE's program in Rome this summer! A little about me. I live in Brooklyn, NY and am pursuing a Masters of Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. My area of focus is adolescents, trauma, and mental health. This past year, I worked at a high school in Brooklyn providing therapy, counseling, and socio-emotional support to young people. I received my BA in 2012 from the University of Vermont, with a concentration in African and Middle Eastern history. I am passionate about exploring new places and have been lucky enough to travel around the world including Uganda, Rwanda, Lebanon, Ireland, France, and of course...Italy!
