I love having the privilege to share my excitement about this field, particularly about clinical and neuropsychology. Sharing my experiences with dedicated students who are interested in creating their own career paths is extremely gratifying – how often does one get the opportunity to assist someone in developing the life they wish? I continue to learn and grow in this profession; there's always something new to explore.
