School Psychologist, Intern


I have experience working in both public and private educational settings. I have worked with students from ages 3-
18 in my professional career. I have also been a part of the ESSER grant through the University of Arizona at Mesa
Unified School District, which supports whole-school implementation of MTSS in both SEL and Mathematic
intervention at the Tier 1 level. For my internship experience, I feel I am best suited for moderate support and would
feel comfortable at my own school. I would benefit from tapered support from the beginning of the year and slowly
remove as I refine my skills and increase my confidence.
