Angelica Santos

Hi,

My name is Angelica Santos. I am in the process of applying to graduate school to obtain my masters degree in mental health counseling and one day become a licensed professional counselor. I have some background in the health care field as a medical assistant and an emergency room unit clerk.

As part of my journey, I strongly desire to become a mental health/behavioral technician. I would be honored to be able to gain the knowledge and experience that it takes to work with others and to be a part of their growth.
