Hi everybody! My name is Gianna Palermo and I am entering my final year as a psychology major at the State College of Farmingdale New York. I plan on pursuing a career as a child life specialist in a pediatric cancer hospital. I have worked at a sleepaway camp for children with cancer and their siblings for the last three summers. In my free time I enjoy crocheting and listening to Taylor Swift. I am looking forward to being a part of the Connected Pathways Coaches team this semester!

Hello everyone! My name is Makenzie and I will be a senior at Farmingdale State college this upcoming semester. My major is applied psychology! I am glad to say that I have narrowed down the paths I would like to take in life to becoming a guidance counselor or education advisor. Truthfully, I would love to help ease students' worries and guide them in making the decisions that they desire. Growing up, I had a guidance counselor that inspired me to look past my concerns and find what I wanted at heart. I am excited to be a part of the team and help the coaches in our connected pathways program this fall semester! I look forward to getting to know you all!

My name is Kate and I am a junior at the University of Maryland studying both psychology and human development. I grew up in New Jersey and love to go to the beach, explore different cities and countries, and I am on a dance team in college as well. I have many different pastimes, but am excited to dedicate more time learning about executive functioning and coaching this fall.

My name is Maggie and I am a current graduate student at the City University of New York; Hunter College. I am investing in exploring opportunities surrounding the mental health field and I hope to make a difference by advocating with both direct counseling and researching on my own. Aside from studying, I have a hobby of playing games on my PC and watching relevant mainstream TV shows.

Hello! I'm a psychology student with a theater minor at Appalachian State University. I chose this path because I love helping people work through their issues, and also love embracing bold self expression. In my free time I enjoy exploring the outdoors here in the mountains, making jewelry and cooking fun new recipes. This internship excites me because I personally understand what it's like to try and keep up with neurotypical people while working through ADHD, especially when it comes to organizing my school work. I can't wait to help kids like me and facilitate that process of growth and learning.
