2019-2020: Portville Central School

My last (and favorite!) Field Period was at my alma mater, Portville Central School, as a school psychologist intern. This was also my psychology Field Period. I was able to observe all different ages from pre-kindergarten up to sixth grade, but spent most of my time in a third grade classroom. The teacher happened to be my mother! I also met with the school's psychologist weekly to talk about what I was seeing in the classroom and make connections from what I learned in my classes to what I was observing every day at the school. I decided I did not want to work as a school psychologist, but instead applied developmental psychology. Due in part to my experiential learning I have been accepted to three different graduate programs and plan to continue my education at the University of Pittsburgh in the Applied Developmental Psychology Graduate Program. You can view my work from this experience here.
