Giving Back
Decreasing the stigma around mental health, lowering Montana’s suicide rates, and creating a supportive community in Gallatin County and beyond, where we can come together and Suffer Out Loud.
“Suicide is a major public health issue in the state of Montana. We feel it is vital to acknowledge suicide as a widespread concern with a common cause, rather than simply an individual problem. By coming together, changing our cultural understanding of mental health, and connecting those in need with the resources they deserve, we can help save hundreds of lives and prevent thousands of suicide attempts each year.”

Striving to making a major difference in the current animal rescues situations, as well as spread awareness through education, and build community with a common goal of making the world better.
“Push Ups for Pups (P.U.P.) is an annual fundraiser based in Seattle, WA held each May. We choose one local animal rescue each year, and 100% of the donations go to that organization to use as they see fit for the animals. We’ve grown and adapted each year, so they’ve all been a little different, but wonderful! We have helped several animals with medical bills, travel costs, supplies for the rescue, and finding the animals their forever homes.”

My Students
“I work at a Title I school where many of my students come from diverse backgrounds. Some students live in the shelter, some come from a completely different country, and some come from low-income households. They come to school every single day, knowing school is a constant place where they feel safe and accepted. “
My Project
“Students have a difficult time sitting in one place for long periods of time, especially in an elementary school. Stability balls give students the capability to wiggle their energy out as they are learning different skills at school. Studies show that stability balls increase student engagement, as well as increase student's cognitive abilities. They also boost attention and concentration while students are learning at their seats. They increase circulation in the body while students are learning. They also reduce maladaptive behaviors in the classroom. I believe students will handle these materials with care and maturity.”
