PSYCHOLOGY STUDENT LOOKING FOR WORK
I am currently a senior (4th year) psychology concentrator at Harvard University. I am planning on moving to Kingston, Ontario next year to live with my girlfriend who will be attending graduate school at your university. I've studied developmental psychopathology under Dr.John Weisz and more recently Anxiety Disorders under Dr. Richard McNally. Assuming I will be able to obtain a work visa, my goal is to work in a variety of psychology environments over the next two years to better determine what field of psychology suits me. I am extremely interested in first hand experience -- whether that be working in a Psychiatric Ward, at a school as a guidance counselor or at a university as a research intern/assistant.
