After graduating from College Academy, Estefany earned two bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Sociology/Anthropology from Florida International University. Her journey has been shaped by meaningful challenges, including supporting her father through his kidney transplant journey. This personal experience led Estefany to work as a Medical Assistant at a nephrology practice in Ft. Lauderdale, where she gained invaluable insights into the healthcare field, particularly kidney health. 

Estefany earned her Master of Science in Counseling Education with a focus on Mental Health. She completed an internship at New Directions for Young Adults, Inc., where she worked with clients who have autism, focusing on areas such as selective mutism, social skills, and mental health struggles. This role brought her immense fulfillment as she contributes to the well-being and growth of her clients.
