About Me

only one more semester and one more internship at children's hospital in oakland and i'll have my masters. so exciting! that much closer to my profession of working with kids and their families in the hospital. between classes and interning i should be pretty booked til may. and then i will search out a social life once again. then it's back to the real working world, but if that doesn't seem like it's going to happen then off to get my Ph.D. i'm currently looking for child life jobs in new zealand and australia. talk about getting as far away as possible. but i'm enjoying my life with new friends and old. and learning about life from the most amazing children i have ever met. nice to have total job satisfaction and life satisfaction, i really am one of the luckiest people alive! and it makes me smile... a lot.
