I have completed my internship at Catholic Charities and have gained valuable experience while accumulating over six hundred hours in the past year working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and elderly individuals. My internship experience has been an invaluable part of my education, and I have grown considerably as a counselor and professional.

As you will see, my resume reflects a persistent drive for excellence and detail in both my academic and employment opportunities. I believe that my ability to maintain a high standard in my academic life while working at my assistantship reflects a work ethic that will make me successful for you as well.
