Mercer has instilled in me high standards of ethics in research, counseling, and humanity. With faculty support and mentorship, I feel equipped to take on projects that I had only dreamed of prior to joining Mercer. I must honor my determination and dedication to be the best version of myself, as a human being and a counselor too.
