This is my last year studying Child, Youth, and Family Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I believe that it is essential that families and children get the right resources, especially those in marginalized communities. Since childhood is a key factor in shaping the lives of children, they need to have resources and people that are consistently there for them. I strive to be this resource to families and children as I continue to learn how to be a culturally competent therapist. I have had numerous years of experience in childcare and recently I started an internship for the Clinical and Prevention Services department at KVC Nebraska. Being an International Baccalaureate Diploma recipient, I know how to analyze situations and problem-solve when situations get hard. I want to continue to be there for families and children by being a play therapist once I get my masters in either counseling or social work.
