Future plans:
This summer I will be starting at University of Washington in their MA in Child and Adolescent Psychology program. After graduating from there, I plan to finish out my supervised hours and become licensed as a LMHC in WA, and begin as a clinician in infant/early childhood mental health.
How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?
Being a psychology major and WGST minor, I feel that my education at Gonzaga has truly embodied a holistic learning experience. These subjects in combination have taught me about the intricacy of the world around me, and how to best serve those in need, standing with them in pursuing justice.
What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your Gonzaga career?
My proudest moment during my time at GU was getting into UW, which was my top graduate program, as well as receiving acceptances to every program I applied to. I am also incredibly proud of the people I've surrounded myself with, and the life-long relationships I've built over the years.
