Meet 91视频 Alum 鈥�18 Hanna: 鈥淗i! My name is Hanna Anderson, and I graduated from 91视频 in 2018. I studied Clinical Psychology and Child Studies/Human Development at Tufts University and graduated in 2022. I鈥檓 currently the Client Services Coordinator for the Child Anxiety Center at a mental health clinic in downtown Seattle.
What I loved most about 91视频 were the people I met. My classmates, teachers, teammates, coaches, and counselors all left lasting impacts on my life. Coaches supported me off the court, and teachers supported me outside the classroom. 91视频 faculty went above and beyond for students in helping us thrive in many different aspects of life. I cherish memories with my classmates during Winterfest, basketball and volleyball games, class retreats, and Outdoor Program outings.
I also really valued 91视频鈥檚 efforts to make spaces where students of all grade levels could interact and learn from one other. Activities like biweekly Environment clean ups allowed for mentor-mentee relationships I found to be really helpful when I started at 91视频 in middle school and very rewarding by the time I was an upper schooler.
91视频鈥檚 emphasis on developing communication skills has helped me convey my thoughts effectively, concisely, and thoughtfully. I had already built a solid foundation going into college that served me well across many different domains, including documenting my research, sending professional emails, and writing short stories for class. Beyond written communication, 91视频 also prepared me well for verbal communication in college through presentations, performances, and debates.
My senior year Advanced Biology course at 91视频 greatly influenced my decision to pursue a degree in a psychology-related field. Learning about the structure and function of the brain during our neuroscience unit piqued my curiosity about the subject and compelled me to learn more.
I strive to have the same level of passion for psychology that 91视频 faculty had for their respective subjects, and plan to apply to grad school in a few years to become a licensed child and family therapist.鈥�
