I am an information technology professional with 20 years of experience in multiple roles, including software development, team leadership, and executive leadership. Yes, you are reading the right page. In spite (or perhaps because) of this past experience, I am now a student of the Master’s in Counselling Psychology programme at Yorkville University looking to complete my practicum at in the spring of 2022. My experience in the field of technology makes me an ideal candidate in a world in which technology and mental health increasingly overlap.
