- During my school counseling internship, I provided both direct and indirect services to high school students in grades 9-12, focusing on academic, social, and career development.

I also observed standardized testing procedures, supported schedule changes, and assisted with new student enrollments. In addition, I analyzed student data, reviewed test scores, and participated in professional training. I met with students individually for college and career counseling, consulted with teachers, and observed students in various settings. I also reviewed district policies regarding self-harm and suicidal ideation, participated in IEP meetings, and contributed to the 504 processes. Furthermore, I attended administrative, faculty, and district-level meetings, and participated in professional development opportunities to enhance my skills as a counselor.
