I have a passion for helping people and my aspiration is to become a counselor. The counseling positions that I am currently interested in are psychotherapist, crisis counselor, and school psychologist. My externship at the YWCA shelter through my PORT 225 course was a great opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in the field of counseling, I learned a lot of important information about my self from the course and externship. For an overview of my experiences and the knowledge I gained from the PORT 225 course and YWCA externship, please refer to the following directory.
