What are your go-to strategies for destressing when the semester gets busy? I REALLY love going to get massages and trying out new restaurants with friends. Outside of this, I definitely prioritize taking dance classes and being out in nature when life gets overwhelming

We asked Asya several questions to help you get to know her better. Her replies are in the chat:

What is the best thing about being a school psychology graduate student? I love that we have unique expertise in how school systems operate and impact the children we serve while also being able to take this into account in serving children across various settings!

What is something you have accomplished in the past year that you are proud of? I'm particularly proud of having completed my Master's thesis and being the first person in my immediate family to obtain this advanced degree!

What is something you are looking forward to in the upcoming year? Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to navigating the internship process! I'm excited about the prospect of training in an environment totally different from the one in which I'm currently in.
