I left my beloved alma mater with tears in my eyes and excitement in my heart as I headed to the big city of Chicago. I attended the Chicago School of Professional Psychology where I earned both my masters and doctorate in psychology. This program forced me to push myself harder than I ever had before. It was exhausting yet stimulating. During my down time I took full advantage of this gem of a city, exploring the culture, the food, the nightlife, and the incredible people it introduced me to.
