I'm excited to participate in the ArizonaLEND program so that I can gain more skills in and knowledge about leadership, interdisciplinary teamwork, and how various disabilities impact individuals and families. As a school psychologist, it is essential for me to be able to collaborate with multiple teams across school and community settings. I also hope to be able to combine my particular passion for advocacy and LGBTQ populations with LEND's offerings, and am sure that as a result of the LEND program I will be a more effective school psychologist.
