Juliet O. (she/her)

Graduate Assistant

I am an Advanced Standing Clinical Social Work student at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Before moving to Houston Texas this past summer, I was a Registered Social Worker with Alberta Health Services based at the Alberta Hospital Edmonton, Alberta Canada. I am passionate about supporting people to be the best version of themselves and have recently been interested in mental health disorders and advocacy. I have a long-term career goal of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and mental health instructor. I was born and raised in Nigeria but have lived on three continents (Africa, Europe, and North America) in the last 11 years. I am excited to be a team member of the Center for Student Empowerment at the University of Houston.

His long-term career goal is to become a counseling psychologist and be able to contribute to veterans and marginalized communities in the Houston area. He is a proud US Army veteran of Hispanic descent, and he believes interculturalism is the key to learning and creating a better world, which is why he is thrilled to have the opportunity to be a member of the Center for Student Empowerment at the University of Houston.
