What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my clinical skills while contributing to a supportive team environment focused on mental health and well-being.

I am a dedicated and passionate individual pursuing a career in clinical psychology, currently completing my M.A. at California State University, Dominguez Hills. My journey began with a B.A. in Psychology, where I developed a strong foundation in psychological principles and practices. I have gained valuable clinical experience as a Behavior Technician at Centria Autism, where I implemented Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism. This role has allowed me to work closely with families, collect data, and refine intervention strategies, all while fostering a nurturing environment for my clients.

In addition to my clinical experience, I have worked at Disneyland Resort as an Attractions Cast Member, where I honed my leadership and safety management skills. My involvement in organizations like The National Society of Leadership and Success and the Psychology Club has further enriched my understanding of leadership and networking within the field. I am committed to continuous learning and development, as evidenced by my volunteer work with organizations that support underserved communities.
