Hi Joanna!

I am a graduate student at Philadelphia University in the Community & Trauma Counseling Program. I am apart of the inaugural cohort of the university and we currently in our summer semester with one year left :-) Our foundation is in trauma and on the first weekend of classes we were introduced to the ACEs study and the impact of behavioral/mental health that follows. The study is discussed almost every weekend we're in class. I am currently interning in a program in Philadelphia, working directly with youth who experience trauma on a daily basis.

I am still unsure of which population I'd like to worth with exclusively after graduation but I really found I LOVE working with children.
