I joined UHP 6 years ago looking for an opportunity to have a lasting impact at a community level, doing something that truly made people's lives better.

As a clinical psychologist, I was frustrated about seeing individual clients and feeling like that there was more I could do to help prevent the things that were affecting people's mental health…. if they had their basic needs met, if they had social support, if they lived and worked in an inclusive environment where they could thrive, would there be as many people feeling anxious and depressed?

Working at UHP affords me the privilege of working alongside community members and passionate advocates to find and implement those solutions that could truly improve people's quality of life, so that they can live healthier lives. I'm so grateful I get to do this work. And I'm so appreciative of your support- it's what's going to help us do more for our communities when they need it most!
