ATHENA DANIIL
Los Angeles,CA
Summary
I am currently a second-year Master's student in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University, scheduled to graduate in April 2024. For my practicum, I am working with CPLA, servicing a private school (K-8) as a TMFT. My background in film and TV production management has equipped me with essential skills in team management, coordination, and handling sensitive information. I believe these skills are highly transferable and valuable in a clinical setting. I am actively seeking a position as a therapist/clinician, as having supervision would greatly assist me in accruing the necessary hours for licensure. I aspire to apply my academic knowledge, practicum experience, and professional background to provide empathetic and effective therapeutic services. My deep passion lies in supporting those in need, and I am enthusiastic about expanding my understanding, refining my techniques, and gaining valuable insights in the field of clinical psychology.
