Hello!! My name is Martina! I just graduated at SDSU where I majored in Psychology with a minor in Counseling and Social Change. For the next year I am looking to build more experience working with children before applying to schools as a therapist specializing in family therapy. In the past I worked as a teacher's assistant at Dewey Elementary for third graders for a few months where I read with them and helped them with homework. I also babysat when living abroad in New Zealand, worked at a daycare with 1 year olds - 3 year olds from April 2025 - August 2025. Furthermore, I also spent last July working with autistic children (most about 2 years old) in Spain with a psychologist!
