Graduating student at Stevenson University, starting to look for roles in the counseling/therapist industry. Aspiring Counselor | Passionate About Supporting Children with Down Syndrome and Helping Others Heal.

I am a dedicated counseling and human services student at Stevenson University with a minor in psychology, currently completing my practicum at Target Community, where I support adults with disabilities through life skills training, structured routines, and community integration. I have hands-on experience facilitating cooking labs, science lessons, and outings that promote independence and learning. My previous internship at St. Elizabeth School further deepened my understanding of working with individuals with disabilities in both academic and behavioral contexts.

I am currently a senior, graduating in May at Stevenson University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Counseling and Human Services with a minor in Psychology. My academic focus centers on working with individuals with disabilities, where I’ve developed a strong foundation in therapeutic strategies, behavioral support, and inclusive practices. Through both coursework and hands-on experiences, I’ve gained the skills necessary to advocate for and support individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, helping them thrive in both structured and community-based settings.
