My role as the School Psychologist Intern is to provide direct support and interventions to students; consult with teachers, families, and other school-employed mental health professionals (i.e. school counselors) to improve support strategies; implement and manage 504 plans; evaluate and support students under special education; work with school administrators to improve school-wide practices and policies; and collaborate with community providers to coordinate needed services. I personally enjoy working with and assisting the children and families of the Union Grove Community throughout their academic careers.
