Summary
Graduate education in forensic psychology and undergraduate degree in psychology. Training in adolescent and child behavior, as well as training in mandated reporting. Experience with residential settings for young girls. I believe every child has the ability and deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive and that past behaviors do not define future capabilities.
