Summary
As an undergraduate psychology student with a strong passion for supporting the emotional and educational success of students, I am eager to pursue a Master's degree in School Psychology at Grand Valley State University. My academic background in relevant psychology courses, combined with hands-on experience in educational settings, has given me a solid foundation in understanding the diverse needs of students. I am drawn to GVSU's hands-on, student-centered training model. My goal is to become a licensed school psychologist, collaborating with students, educators, and parents to promote positive well-being and educational outcomes.
