About Laica
Sacramento
Has vehicle
Hello, my name is Laica. I am a full-time college student pursuing my goal of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), while also working full-time in a behavioral health setting supporting youth and their families. I have experience working with children with behavioral needs, including those diagnosed with autism and cerebral palsy. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate support and helping families access appropriate resources. Outside of my professional and academic responsibilities, I enjoy staying active through running and working out, spending time outdoors, cooking, and being with family and friends. I am also the proud owner of two dogs who bring great joy to my life.
