My Greatest Supporters

My parents and brother for supporting me through the program. Guru ji for always being there for me. My amazing friends and boyfriend for validating me! Thank you to my cohort sisters for every single thing we have been through together on this journey!

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

Too many to choose from! One that sticks out to me is when Dr. Suzy Thomas had us write down our therapeutic response on our first day of Counseling Skills and then handing those papers back on our last day of class. That moment really made me believe I was in the right field.

My Next Chapter

Next, I will be working toward becoming a licensed marriage family therapist :)
