Breeana G.

My name is Breeana Griffin, and I am a junior at University of Arizona majoring in Psychology and double minoring in Human Development and Family Sciences and Criminology. I aim to begin my career as a Child Psychologist helping kids who struggle with their mental health along with providing them a safe space to talk through anything. I am an extremely hard worker, assertive, dedicated and caring. I would strive in a psychological environment because I will always take everyone's thoughts and feelings into consideration. My experience with children and adults has allowed me to understand and gather information on how important it is to create a safe environment for any child or adult in need of someone to talk to or someone to understand them.
