Community Highlights

Healing isn’t just my profession—it’s my purpose. Born and raised in Michigan, I have always been passionate about advocacy and creating spaces where people feel safe and supported. As a Behavioral Therapist in one of the state’s largest and most diverse school districts, I have the honor of serving over 10,000 students, helping them navigate challenges and build resilience. With a Master’s in Behavioral Analytics and a Bachelor’s in Nursing Science, my work combines research-backed strategies with a deep understanding of human connection.

I feel most like myself when I’m giving back—whether through my career, my writing, or my community initiatives. When Roses Bloom started as my personal outlet, a way to process my own experiences, but it quickly became something greater. It grew into a space where others could find comfort, validation, and healing. I know what it feels like to search for support and not know where to turn. That’s why I turned my pain into purpose—becoming the guide I once needed.

This year, I have the honor of representing Michigan as Ms. Michigan Petite USA 2025. Competing at this level is more than just a title—it’s a platform to elevate my message of resilience, healing, and self-empowerment. Through this role, I hope to inspire others to embrace their journeys, no matter how unconventional or challenging they may be. The pageant world has shown me that true strength isn’t about appearances—it’s about the impact we make and the lives we touch. It has given me opportunities to speak on mental health, connect with community leaders, and advocate for accessible healing spaces for all.

Above all, my greatest motivation is being a girl mom. Every decision I make is with her in mind—I want to show her that strength comes in many forms, that kindness is powerful, and that she can turn her own challenges into something meaningful. Watching her grow pushes me to keep creating spaces where people feel loved, valued, and understood.

As When Roses Bloom continues to grow, so does my dedication to expanding its reach. Every day, more people are finding a space where they feel seen and supported, and that’s exactly what I set out to create. My goal is to make sure no one has to walk their healing journey alone. Through my writing, speaking engagements, and hands-on work in the community, I am committed to spreading the message that healing is possible.

If you’re on a healing journey, know this—you are not alone. Let’s bloom together.
