About Me

I grew up in New York City and have recently moved to Edinburgh for my master's in Counselling. I'm the oldest of two brothers, my mom is a baker and my dad is a general contractor. I love to paint and do puzzles. I've studied psychology and art in the past. I hope to become a therapist one day and I would love to continue working with children within that profession.
