About
Currently I am a candidate for Masters program at New York University, completing the graduate program for school counseling. I have gained much knowledge, skills, and I have learned how to become a better advocate for other students. I am determined to complete every task and obstacle that comes in my way. I have learned to become a better listener, to become more culturally aware of others, and to better communicate with clients and students to find ways in helping them through their experiences. I hope to use these skills in the field and being bilingual to help other clients and students who may not be able to communicate because of a language barrier.
