My Project

Through aromatherapy, light therapy, and grounding techniques, all these items are going to help our students feel more rooted as they navigate these uncertain times. We aim to provide a stable, warm, comforting space to attend to our students' social-emotional and wellness needs while we make sure they're on track to graduate, working towards their self-realization goals, and getting ready to apply to and matriculate in college. I believe that all the items listed will go a long way to help students make the most of their time at school and put their best foot forward towards the time ahead.

I'm so grateful for the support in helping me students feel safe, seen, and supported!
