What brought you to UWS?
I came to UWS to expand my expertise in Sport Psychology and eventually pursue becoming a CMPC. I have had a passion for both athletics and mental health and wanted to pursue a field that combined the two. Being a basketball coach, I already had access to athletes in my local community and wanted to be able to serve them in more ways than just being their coach on the court. As well, being a resident of California, I enjoyed the flexibility of completing their programs remotely.
Is there anything you would tell your younger (UWS) self?
Being only a few years since completing my degree, I would tell my younger self who is just starting her journey at UWS to be open to making connections with classmates and professors. There are so many amazing people to learn from and collaborate with in each class. With how quickly the weeks pass, you never want to take the time for granted. Whatever questions you are thinking of asking, don’t be afraid to reach out to people!
