As a TA in a Lab Leading position, the vital role is to contribute to student success while improving personal and professional skills. I effectively utilize skills and techniques to provide feedback to fellow graduate students enrolled in a group theory and techniques course for both the day and night sections in the Department of Counseling and Human Services M.A. program. Lab leading demonstrates to students the most accurate techniques for facilitating an effective group counseling session. Modeling these techniques support in the reduction of worry within the students as many of these individuals are starting practicum. Being a lab leader helps establish a welcoming and supportive environment to promote new counselors-in-training personal and professional development.

By serving in this position, I support various populations through a humanistic theoretical lense.

Not only I help with administrative tasks, I support co-facilitators through the group process and dynamics.
