OTHER WORK

 I am scuba certified after participating in a rigorous online and physical training course.

 I participated in 26 hours of shadowing two school psychologists. I spent time shadowing at both an elementary school and an intermediate school. I observed their day-to-day along with interacting with kids involved in their caseload. This allowed me to find a love for counseling and ultimately pursue it as a career.
