Delmy
UndocuBruins Fellowship Coordinator
My name is Delmy, and I am a second-year Master of Social Welfare (MSW) student. As a first-generation college student, I am deeply committed to advocating for immigrant and low-income communities. At the heart of my work is a passion for expanding access to mental and physical health care by addressing the systemic barriers that disproportionately impact historically underserved communities. Advocacy is not only a core value but also a driving force in my approach to social work. My long-term goal is to become a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive care that honors the dignity, resilience, and lived experiences of those I serve.
