Peace Neighborhood Center provides wraparound services to children, youth, and families throughout Washtenaw County. What started as an idea in 2008, as an MSW intern at Peace Neighborhood Center, my vision was to work with youth expanding their options in life through exposure to new experiences. In 2026, as the Director of Family Enrichment & Wellness programs and the Primary Field Instructor at Peace Neighborhood Center, I have the privilege to provide leadership, counseling, support, and education to parents, youth, community members and future social workers. Our Family Enrichment Program supports our families to be proactive in education, health & wellbeing, and community involvement. Our Wellness Program focuses on our four pillars; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. To implement the vision we provide counseling, support groups, and activities such as yoga and walking groups. I am rooted in Peace, in the work I have been able to do over the years.
