About

I am a sophomore Psychology student with a minor in Child Development. I aspire to get a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis on Play Therapy. I want to connect with children through their imaginative world of play to help them grow and develop into well-functioning people of society. I am seeking psychology internships, experience, and mentorship that will help me prepare for a Masters degree.
