Hi everybody, it is so nice to meet you all! My name is Helen and I am currently completing my undergraduate degree with a Sciology major and Education minor in Counselling and Human Development. Throughout the past couple of years, I have had the amazing opportunities to volunteer and work for community programs that support the growth and development of youth and students.

Hello Reader! My name is Anna Markovic, I am a 4th year Psychology Major who is also completing a minor in counselling and human development, as well as a Hellenic Studies Certificate. I always wanted to help people, but I never knew how I would accomplish this because typically, a helper is associated with a doctor or lawyer, and these were two careers I was not interested in.
