Psychology and History major

My Jewell experience was incredibly valuable in so many ways, but most of all, I was afforded the opportunity to learn and thrive in an environment that nurtured my passions and goals. I was provided an abundance of skills and knowledge that have enabled me to confidently take the first steps in my career as a registered behavioral technician.
