Brittani Richard

President

Hi there! I’m Brittani Richard. I’m a third-year and am looking forward to helping support our cohorts through CUASP to give our program memorable experiences as we head into new territory. This year, I will be completing my internship and LPCC hours with Downey Unified School District. One of my passions within the field is social-emotional learning (SEL) and I recently had the opportunity to develop and teach a class on SEL topics for elementary students. My hope is to adapt and implement similar curriculum this year for both high-school aged and special education populations. One of my favorite things is being a big sister to my 7 younger siblings (I know), so in my free time you can catch me chatting with them, attempting a DIY project, playing softball or trying to keep plants alive in my garden. Any green-thumb tips are always welcomed! Cheers to a great start to the year and together, may we grow through what we go through!
