I recently graduated from SUNY Brockport in May 2022 with a Master of Arts degree in Psychology concentrating on clinical research. My journey from SUNY Brockport to where I am now as a Crisis Operations Supervisor started after I turned 30 and had children. It was not easy, but most definitely worth it. I did my homework when my kids were doing theirs, and it was part of our bonding time that they still talk about. They were happy to volunteer for the many research projects and homework assignments that I needed to complete.
