Hey everyone, 

First time posting. My about me has most of the info I'll share now but here's a little about me. I am from Maine, and currently take classes online through Southern New Hampshire University. I am studying Psychology with a concentration in child and adolescent development. I am going to be graduating in the spring of 2020, and hope to enroll into either a masters or a PhD program. My dream is to get my PhD in clinical or developmental psychology, and use this degree to provide clinical treatment for children with special needs, as well as research new intervention strategies to improve the lives of these children and their families. 

I would like to go directly into a PhD program after my undergrad, but also recognize that a masters beforehand may be a better route. For PhD I would love to get into Notre Dame or Alabama. Both these programs are amazing and the research they do is fascinating. For masters I am hoping to get into Ball State University or William and Mary College. 

I look forward to learning from all of you, and thank you all for any help and advice you can give me on this journey! Have a great day everyone!
