Ofrezco ayuda en espanol!
Hi, I’m Jess! I was born and raised in New Jersey and moved to Houston 8 years ago. I am Puerto Rican and Colombian and am very proud of my ancestry. I am bilingual and hope to learn more languages to help me connect to others of different cultures. I graduated from Sam Houston University with a Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Human Services. I’ve worked with children, teaching coping skills to low-income families, allocating services, and locating support in their communities. I recently started my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Sam Houston State University.
I have a small immediate family, love my dogs, and spend lots of time with my extended family as well. Some of my hobbies are working in my garden, painting, writing, and spending quality time with those whom I care for and love. My family supports my dreams and efforts to help others; together, we celebrate our culture. I’m here to create a space to advocate for all looking to improve their mental health.
