Profile

Clinical and educational psychologist with over 20 years of experience in a variety of workplaces, providing mental health services to individuals, families and groups in Brazil. My husband was invited by his company to work in New Hampshire, and I have joined him in his journey here. While I continue to improve my English language skills, I am seeking a position in an educational or a health care setting where I might continue in some way to use my expertise and knowledge of mental health, human behavior and development as well as use my people helping and leadership skills. I am unable to be in a clinical psychologist role due to lack of a US license.However, my skills and work experience would contribute to making me a successful and valuable employee in a variety of positions as I continue to improve my English.
