Regina Long
Buffalo,NY
Summary
I transferred from a community college and moved away from family to pursue a bachelors in psychology. I love volunteering within the Buffalo community, its my passion.
I am a trained youth group leader in a program called Wyld life organizing games and activities for children on the West Side. I enjoy volunteering at my church as a Lector and love rowing through the West Side Rowing Club during the summer. In addition, to support myself I am employed as a waitress at Trattoria Aroma and as an assistant in the Psych Department at Buffalo State University. I remain in good standing as a tenant of an apartment on the West Side.
I have hopes to become a Therapist someday, especially in Child Play Therapy.
