“I could’ve spent my time denying that I had a nontraditional education or struggled with depression. But I didn’t want to edit those parts out of my story. I wanted to move forward. When I decided to finish college, and to study psychology I was drawn to Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies, because it felt like a place where I could work, go to school, and stay connected.”
