Sarah Bennett, Student in the MA/CAGS in School PsychologySarah Bennett is a firm believer in public education. The life-long resident of Massachusetts graduated from Plymouth South High School and earned her BA in psychology from UMass Dartmouth, where her interest in psychology was piqued early on. As an undergrad with a joint passion for cognitive/social-emotional testing and one-on-one therapy, she saw two clear pathways for working with school-aged students in her field: as a school-based guidance counselor or a private-practice clinical psychologist. She credits her mentor, a psychologist in private practice doing contract work in the local public schools, as pointing her toward a third option — a career in school psychology.ProfileProfileSchool Psychology
