Meet our Psychology Intern, Reyna!


Salutations!
My name is Reyna. I am a senior at Arizona State University, West Campus. I am graduating December 2014 with honors and a degree in Psychology, all before my twenty-first birthday. Currently, I am part of the Leadership Scholarship Program, a prestigious scholarship given to only twenty-two students in the entire state that exemplify strong leadership in various aspects of their lives. I aspire to become a child and family therapist, aiding children and their parents in overcoming obstacles that impede children from reaching their optimal physical and emotional growth. With my vast hands-on experience in educational settings, I am certain that being part of the Arion team will provide me with the finest experience in working with children. Ultimately, my desire is to make a difference in the lives of children and to positively impact their lives.
