Summary
Human Development and Family Science major with a minor in Psychology seeking a summer internship in a child and adolescent therapy practice. I chose this field because I want to support the next generation and be a steady, caring presence for at least one child every day. I am eager to gain hands-on experience working with children and families while applying my coursework in crisis intervention, family systems, and emotional development.
