I am a Educational Psychology graduate who has found a subject that I am not only passionate about but also interested in ways on how to improve this field of study. I have worked in various school settings as both an early childhood educator as well as a paraeducator in a local high school. My goal is to work as a school guidance counselor with high school aged youth. During my undergraduate education I had the opportunity to work with adults in mapping out career exploration and aided them in registering for classes that fit their interests and career goals. During my undergraduate education, I also had the opportunity of being a youth counselor to five different groups of youth with ages varying between 13-17. Many youth presented with varying emotional difficulties about future plans as well as other personal struggles. Though it was not in my job description to aid them in navigating these areas, I was able to help many find good direction toward self acceptance and peace in their lives at that point. I have a love of working with youth and guiding them in their educational and life pursuits and hope to do that full time when that point comes.
