Why did you choose MSP?
When I met the faculty last year at open house, I felt like very welcomed and everyone was so kind including the professors. I felt the faculty wanted their students to succeed. I believed I would be given the tools I needed to meet the world successfully in psychology during and after graduation.

I want to help set people free of bondage. I would like to assist first responders in national or global disasters. I may open up a clinic and welcome other clinicians.
What is your plan after graduation?
My plans are to speak to any audience that will listen to the importance of mental health. I also want to travel and help first responders in national or global disasters. I want to help set up and execute a plan to meet the immediate needs of the people. I have also considered continuance in private practice. I want to learn a lot more about PTSD and implement cutting edge techniques.
