About
I am studying for my Master's Degree in Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Educational Psychology, primarily focusing on Student Learning and Well-being. I have been assisting and teaching in classrooms for 8 years, with 4 of those years being a full-time classroom teacher in Elementary classrooms. Having noticed the increased levels of anxiety and frustration in many students, I desired to increase my knowledge of psychology and well-being to help these students thrive.
