Patricia Garcia featured in DU Newsroom Profile Story
Patricia Garcia, a current Counseling Psychology Master’s student, was recently featured in a DU Newsroom profile story as part of the University’s coverage of graduation and commencement. Patricia is graduating this spring and reflects on her experience in the CP MA program at Morgridge.
“One of the big things that this program does is we immediately get immersed in doing counseling,” she says. Garcia especially enjoyed testing her counseling skills at The Bridge Project, a free after-school and tutoring program run by DU’s Graduate School of Social Work.
“I was able to work with a lot of immigrants and people from different cultures and countries. It was this melting pot of cultures,” she says. “It was pretty much interacting with the kids from the time you got there until you left.”
Looking ahead to June, when she receives her hard-earned master’s degree, she’s poised to help and understand people all the better. Garcia plans to return to New Mexico to work with populations that face the same challenges she once confronted.
