My name is Maria Depina and I am a young, eager, and self-motivated lady looking to grow in every aspect of life! My favorite quote is I will forever be a student; because I am always looking for ways to turn every experience into a learning and meaningful experience. I am a recent psych major graduate from URI, however, I was not always into psychology. When i first pursued college I started as a pharmacy major. Innately, I started to lean more toward the psychology side after I took an abnormal psychology class as an elective. It was a new found love, and I found that I have a gift where I am able to connect with people. I am very empathetic and skilled at relating to people and making them feel heard.Luckily, just before graduation I landed a job at Tides Family Services ! A place where I can help people and feed that passion and desire I have to uplift others. I am very new in my field, but I am just getting started this is only the beginning. I do plan on pursuing grad school, my major concentration is Ph.D in Clinical Psychology. I have yet to begin the program which is okay; in the mean time I plan on skill building, networking and connecting with the resources that will prepare me for future opportunities!
