Welcome to the Chatter Box!
Below you'll find posts related to lessons I have taught at my internship sites and useful material I have collected. You'll also find posts related to reflections upon what I am learning in class and internship. Personal growth is a journey, but it does not have to be one we go on alone. I invite you to join me :)
