I am a recent December 2016 graduate with my
Bachelor of Arts in both Psychology and Religion.Due to my experience at
Ashland, I feel well prepared for my next step at Liberty University where I
will pursue my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. If there
is anything that I have learned within these past few months about my
psychology education from Ashland University it is that the study of the mind
transcends the means of a classroom environment. Though I am not currently
being taught about the way in which a human brain works, professors from
Ashland have helped me to realize that I am always learning if I choose to pay attention
to my surroundings. If people are involved, psychology is involved. Now that I
am truly able to recognize the importance of working through the positive and
negative aspects of the way we, as humans, think in everyday circumstances, I
am ready to further my classroom education. My dream of becoming an
Equine-Assisted Licensed Professional Counselor is beginning to get closer and
closer and I could not be more excited! The Ashland University Psychology
Department has developed a passion in me to learn and help people, and for that
I will forever be motivated and grateful.
