About

I am a senior at SUNY Cortland who is graduating in three years. My first semester at SUNY Cortland was in the fall of 2018 and I will be graduating in the first semester of summer in 2021. I was recently accepted into Adelphi university's MA program in School Psychology. I have worked every hard to graduate SUNY Cortland in 3 years because I am eager to attend my dream graduate program and start my career as a school psychologist. I am constantly challenging myself each and every day to be a better person than I was yesterday. I am proud to say that all of my hard work over the past few years has paid off. Pushing myself as hard as I do, speaks on my character of how highly motivated, extremely detail-oriented driven achiever with exemplary planning skills and excellent time management skills. I am a goal driven leader and I excel at being able to effectively communicate while using my critical thinking and problem solving skills. The most important characteristic that I have, in my opinion, is how much I care and my soft heart. This characteristic has driven me to be a child psychologist because I want to be the person who makes a difference in someone’s life. I want to be the reason someone smiles or decides to push through a hardship.
