Hi everyone, My name is Mabel! A little about me: I received my master’s degree in psychology with a clinical psychology concentration. I have completed several formal courses at the UCLA Extension Center's Creative Writing program in children’s picture books. Previously, I have worked with children and adults with disabilities (e.g., reading disability, autism, oppositional defiant disorder) and mental health conditions. I have a passion for advocating for individuals from varying disadvantaged backgrounds. Some include individuals who are considered marginalized, identify as students of color, face food insecurity, and are first-generation students in higher education. In addition, I served as a suicide crisis counselor, providing resources, validating individuals in crisis, where I supported them through challenging moments with empathy and non-judgment. Currently, I am in the process of writing my own children's picture book series, and when I have time, I love providing insight and feedback to aspiring authors.
