Goals and interests
- Career goal
I am currently in school to be a counselor. I would love to do this for a few years while working on my PhD in clinical psychology. It is a goal of mine to open up my own private practice, or non profit. I would really love to offer multiple different types of psychological evaluations, as well as offer different types of therapy.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in academic activities, groups and successes.
- Outside the classroom
I love to read, research, hiking, travel, being a dog mom, my job as a registered behavior technician, and helping other people.
