Soon after earning a degree in Psychology from Dickinson College, I served as a case manager at a community-based guardianship service. During my time there, I helped clients bring their lives from a state of disorder and unmanageability to a state of harmony and productivity. Several years later, I worked on a research project which explored the efficacy of various methods of intervention on individuals who struggled with substance abuse and mental illness. After the completion and overwhelming success of the study, I went on to graduate school at Hunter College, where I am currently in the final phases of completing my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
