Other Projects
Just Futures Research Team
The University of Michigan’s Just Futures Team is comprised of students, faculty, and alumni from the school of social work, school of information, school of public health, and school of architecture to carry out interdisciplinary research.
As you can see, I am currently a part of this team! I have helped out on a few of their projects, most significantly being the missing migrants of Tunisia below.

Missing Migrants Project
Immigrant advocacy has been a major passion for me throughout school. At the University of Michigan with the Just Futures Team, I was able to travel to Tunisia and do clinical interviews with the families of missing migrants trying to find a better life in Italy.
Primarily as a clinician, I have worked with refugees and their families discussing political impacts on their mental health. This work has been conducted in a hospital setting, outpatient setting, and in-home setting.
The exhibit to the right features the stories of each family that I was privileged to obtain as well as my photography.

Emotion and Music
Emotions have their place in every setting–music is not the exception! Working with the world famous tabletop composer (who also happens to be my best friend) we came up with a great tool to explore how to make specific emotions come up in music.
Music can make us feel all kinds of ways. I even use it clinically sometimes if my patients need coping skills. This book can help anyone wanting to compose convey certain emotions musically as well as with other tools included.
