Meet Paige, one of the first year school psychology students here at Minot State University!
🤍 Where are you from?
I currently live in Park River, North Dakota!
🤍 What made you choose school psychology?
I’m currently an Early Childhood and Primary Elementary Special Education. This has allowed me to have a sneak peek at the role of a school psychologist, but also become aware of the significant shortage and need for rural North Dakota schools. My passion certainly lies in helping others and I felt like continuing my education and career into school psychology was a logical decision to help more learners in an area that is often going unmet.
🤍 What’s your go to study snack?
I love all snacks! I really enjoy popcorn, liquorice, pretzels, and M&Ms of all varieties. And of course, I can’t forget a cup of coffee (or two)!
🤍 What is your favorite part about the Minot State School Psychology program?
My favorite part of the Minot State School Psychology program is certainly my cohort members and our professors. Our cohort is so fun, so supportive, and so hard working. It’s just been a really awesome group to be a part of as we embark on this journey together and I couldn’t imagine doing it with anyone else! Our professors are also incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, ensuring that we are set up for success as future school psychologists. They are incredibly supportive and personable.
