Summary
People-oriented and calm under stress as a skilled behavioral therapist focused on helping cognitively impaired clients. I implement successful treatment plans based on evidence-based practices. Moreover, I am dedicated to building strong support networks with professionals and loved ones. Furthermore, I am an organized and dependable candidate who is successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
Besides my passion for psychology, I want to pursue the career because I am competent. Upon resuming my education after the prolonged break, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Applied Psychology. I managed a Latin Honors Summa Cum Laude with a 3.9 GPA, a distinction that is the highest academic achievement designated for students.
