About
I am originally from Milwaukee, WI. I am a first generation, African-American student. I moved to Arizona by myself at the age of 21 to pursue my dreams of becoming a child psychologist. I earned my associate's degree in 2019. I am graduating in December 2021with my bachelor's degree. I am attending grad school Fall 2022. I have a passion for helping children. I have made it a goal of mine to work in my field while I earn my degree. I am currently a behavioral technician and a mentor. I have worked two to three jobs every semester and have made the honor roll list every semester. My ultimate goal is to have my own private practice and guide children into believing in themselves.
