Hi Everyone! I am happy to announce that I've started a Natural Resource Internship at the Bureau of Land Management! I'm thrilled to help manage our federal lands for sustained use and conservation, and I would like to give a big shoutout to GEM Corps for setting me up with such a unique opportunity 🌄

I’m excited to share that I have completed my Master of Arts in Industrial Organizational Psychology! This experience has once again shown me that it takes a village to achieve amazing things. During this journey, I have been helped by so many, including: -My professors, Kristina Dandy and H. L. (Lee) Gillis, PhD, ABPP, as well as my mentor/past supervisor, Eric Welsh, who all wrote me recommendations for the program. -My IO mentor, Jenny Kent, who encouraged me every step of the way. -My professors that helped me grow and gave me the skills needed to make places of work engaging, satisfying, and rewarding. -My cohort members that made every class interesting and insightful. -My supervisors for actively encouraging me to continue pursuing my educational goals and giving me chances to use my learned skills in my current position. -My friends who listened to my rants of being overwhelmed by working full time during an intense academic program. -Lastly, my family that supported me throughout the entire process with patience, understanding, and love. Each person in my community played a vital role in my ability to thrive in the UGA Professional I-O Psychology Master's Program. I am forever grateful to them and hope they know what an impact they have had on my life. Now it’s time to put this degree to work! As my classmate once said, “Let’s use our powers to ensure the workplace doesn’t suck!” 😂
