Psychology is the path to many different locations
My past goals include my AAS from Fashion Institute of Technology and a 30+ year career in the fashion industry. More recently finished my BA and earned a NJ K-12 visual art teaching certification, ultimately my goal is to begin a master’s program at the School of Visual Arts in September of 2021, I deferred my Fall 2020 acceptance at the onset of the pandemic, to earn an MPS in Art Therapy, upon which I would like to work with young children in a school or hospital setting.
