“We help children and families get to where they need to be – to be successful at whatever it is they’re struggling through as it relates to their mental health. So, the job I do is really rewarding and fulfilling in the sense that I have the opportunity to go out every day and help other people. And, just having that idea that I’m making an impact and knowing that I’m doing something to help not just help individual children and families, but also impact the greater community as a whole.” – Robert Madril, College Success Arizona Scholar, from Nogales, Arizona who received his Bachelor’s Degree, in Psychology, from the University of Arizona, and works as a clinical supervisor at an outpatient mental health clinic in Tucson.
“I know that psychiatric nursing has been brought more into the light over the past few years, and I feel that I want to be on the front lines of making a difference in that field, because it is very new as far being able to diagnose. It’s kind of a fuzzy line, because you are basically diagnosing people on symptoms that can overlap each other…” – Cynthia Lee, College Success Arizona Scholar, currently working as a Registered Nurse at Banner a Health in Tucson and at Tucson Medical Center.
Continuing with this feature, we’re be taking a closer look at the College Success Arizona team, the people that make all that we do happen. We’ll be asking the normal “tell us a little about yourself” questions, but also delving a little deeper into each team member’s personality, and what makes them who they are. This month’s subject is our newest Success Adviser, Staphany Ramirez.
