Jasmine B. RomeroPresidentHi everyone! I’m currently a third year student also working towards my LPCC. I am completing my internship at Irvine Unified School District and completed my practicum experience at Orange Unified! Within the field, I naturally gravitate towards all aspects surrounding mental health but am also passionate about early intervention for pretty much anything a student may need support with (behavior, academic, social-emotional). I have done some independent research (with Tori) about supporting student reentry into school after a psychiatric hospitalization, and now that topic has just kind of stuck with me! Aside from life in the program, I love being social with friends by going on hikes, getting dinner, or just going out for drinks! I like a good balance on weekends and also enjoy watching some of my favorite shows with my pup, Milly. Some of our favorite shows are Friends, Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy (the older seasons of course), all things Bachelor/ Bachelorette, and Beat Bobby Flay!! I’m so excited to be CUASP’s President for the 2021-2022 school year and can’t wait to see what we can accomplish!

Tori VickersVice President Hi everyone! I am currently in my third (and final!!) year of the school psychology program with an emphasis in professional clinical counseling (LPCC). I completed my practicum hours at Orange Unified School District and LPCC hours at Anaheim Union High School District. Now, I am working at Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District for my internship. In the field of school psychology, I am interested in promoting mental health and conducting comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations (yay RIOT!). I have also presented with Jasmine B. on supporting re-entry after psychiatric hospitalizations, so that has become a passion of mine! Outside of my time in class and internship, I love escaping reality through books and TV shows (please send me recommendations!) and spending time with my friends. Pre-COVID, I traveled a lot and am looking forward to getting back to that soon. I could not be more stoked to support the program as CUASP’s Vice President and I can’t wait to meet you all!
