Summary

Working with others to create a safe, comfortable environment to help others grow is something I pride myself in. Pushing myself to be hardworking, attentive, and overall stronger is something I wish to contribute to others. My strongest qualities that help me execute this are adaptability, detail-oriented, and commitment to growth. With my past experience of working with children to elders, I am able to adapt and use well-developed skills to work effectively and collaboratively. Helping people has always been a passion of mine on any level and I wish to further this as I complete my degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.
