Class of 2030

I am a 3rd-year clinical PsyD student concentrating in neuropsychology. My practicum placements include alcohol and substance use counseling at Boston Medical Center–Brighton’s Comprehensive Addiction Program, psychoeducational evaluations for IEPs at Salem Public Schools, and comprehensive psychodiagnostic, projective, academic, and neuropsychological evaluation at McLean Hospital Child and Adolescent Testing Service. I am planning for a career as a pediatric neuropsychologist, with an ultimate goal of postdoctoral fellowship and board certification in pediatric neuropsychology. I am also a teaching assistant for Adult Psychopathology, a class focused on psychodiagnostics with the DSM-5-TR, and Ethics.
