Bio

I'm a dedicated and driven student with a passion for children's psychology, currently pursuing a Master’s in Educational Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Global. My academic path is fueled by a strong commitment to understanding the psychological and emotional needs of children, with a focus on creating effective strategies to support their academic success. Beyond my coursework, I have been involved in volunteer work, where I have gained valuable hands-on experience in crisis counseling and understanding child development. These opportunities have allowed me to develop practical skills in managing challenging situations, while also deepening my understanding of the complexities children may face in educational settings. This real-world experience, coupled with my academic knowledge, has reinforced my dedication to advancing in the field of school psychology. As I continue to pursue my education, I am eager to further expand my knowledge and skills, with the ultimate goal of contributing to the development of more supportive and effective educational environments for all students. I am truly excited about the potential of a scholarship to provide the resources needed to make it through graduate school to pursue a career in school psychology.
