Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to work in the Public School system as a School Psychologist. I am most interested in working in High Schools as well as Elementary. It is important to identify any special needs that a child may have early on, in order to provide the proper accommodations to ensure success. It is also important that children are given the tools necessary to transition to the collegiate level successfully. It is for these reasons that I wish to work with these two age groups.

Graduate school interests

Western Carolina University- School Psychology. Currently enrolled as a 1st year graduate student.

Outside the classroom

Crafting/ Decorating, running, walking my dog, hiking, biking, and singing.
