It has been extremely beneficial to learn more about the field of Clinical Psychology and take part in on-going research at the graduate level. It has also been exciting to learn more about disorders such as Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder. This experience has helped me better understand the work I want to do and helped me carve out my next steps towards getting a graduate degree.
