Summary

As a dedicated massage therapist with a strong foundation in applied psychology and educational advocacy, I bring a holistic approach to understanding and supporting the emotional and mental well-being of students. My academic journey has included extensive studies and observations of children with special needs, equipping me with a deep understanding of their unique challenges and strengths. Additionally, my knowledge of educational law enables me to advocate effectively for the rights and needs of these students. Through my experience in one-on-one client interactions, I have honed my empathetic communication skills, and my ability to foster trusting relationships. Transitioning to school psychology, I am eager to apply my insights and advocacy skills to create inclusive, supportive environments that promote student success and resilience.
