I am excited and honored to participate in the AZLEND leadership training program. My interest in working with children who have neurodevelopmental disabilities and their families began over a decade ago as a teacher and a school counselor. As a fourth year doctoral student in the School Psychology program at the University of Arizona, this experience will afford me the opportunity to build on my knowledge and skills in this critical area as a future clinician and researcher. In addition, I look forward to using the skills I develop through this program to advocate for maternal and child health at both the state and federal level.
