About
I am currently attending graduate school and will be done with my masters in General Psychology in August 2016. My undergraduate concentration is in Biology but I feel in love with the field of psychology and mental health after I was offered a job as a case manager working with adults with psychiatric disability and substance abuse. I have three years of internship and work experience in psychology, social work, and human services gained while volunteering and working with geriatric population with dementia and Alzheimer's while working my way through two college degrees. Further, I have experience in residential, inpatient, and outpatient facilities with Autism and special education population. Trained and experienced in crisis intervention using PMT AND CPI.
