Hi Everyone, I'm Rocio

My Pronouns are she/her/hers

I am a Social Work Graduate student and currently working on getting my Master's in Social Work. I am involved in the Mindful Garden Group and Grant Writing. 

I am hoping to work with women and children as a Social Worker in the near future. I believe in the importance of human relationships, dignity and worth of a person, social justice and services. 

As a peer coach I am hoping to use certain life skills and self-care tools to help others with the stressors that life might throw at you. My hope is to have an open-minded, curious, compassionate and safe environment. 

When I feel too anxious or stressed, I love to decompress from the day by spending time with my husband and binge-watching tv, as well as coloring. 

Looking forward to the Spring Semester and am excited to start this new journey as a peer coach!
