Goals and interests

Career goal

Once I complete my Bachelor's psychology degree (I have 1 class left), I will obtain a job as a Guardian Ad Litem so that I can help children who have been neglected and/or abused. While working as a Guardian Ad Litem, I will continue my Master's program for clinical psychology, clinical counseling, applied research. Once I complete my residencies, hours, license, I will work as a Master's level clinical counselor helping to assist abused and neglected children as well as families with mental illness. I hope to continue my studies in order to obtain a PsyD so that I can be a Licensed Clinical Psychologist.

Graduate school interests

Would like to complete studies to earn a PsyD so that I can become a Licensed Clinical Psychologist.
