SECTION 2:  ESSAYS

  Back to Top
 

1. Please provide an autobiographical statement.

I grew up in Houston, TX and moved frequently to various parts of the city.  Moving around a big city gave me the opportunity to meet different people with extremely diverse backgrounds.  This has helped me to be open-minded and sensitive to individual differences. We later moved to Indiana where I reside now.

My parents are young in age and spirit.  Even though both had full time employment, they always made time to spend with the family, as well as pursue their own interests. My parents are both involved in martial arts, thus when I was 4-years old, I joined also.  I am currently a third degree black belt and have competed both nationally and internationally.  I have also taught in a variety of settings and conducted demonstrations and workshops. Being in martial arts for 20 years has given me the discipline to work hard and endeavor, even in the face of adversity. Competition and teaching has also instilled in me the confidence to face challenges in an adaptive frame of mind.  These personal traits are further evident in my academic achievements of graduating high school early, completing my Masters early while working full-time and earning a place in the Ball State School Psychology Ph.D. program by the age of 22.

The professional employment that I have had while attending university has given me experiences that are valuable to my work in psychology.  During my Bachelor’s Degree, I worked at Swanson Center for Mental Health as the Director's Assistant, which allowed me to function in an outpatient treatment setting around a diverse population interacting with psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other medical personnel.  My time employed at The Training Institute of Indiana, during my Master's Degree, as a caseworker provided me experience collaborating with state agencies, welfare recipients, and their prospective employers.  I currently teach at Sylvan Learning Center and have the opportunity to work closely with individuals of all ages in both one on one and group situations, who have special needs.

I thoroughly enjoy working with children and look forward to the possibility of spending my internship in a highly reputable institution such as UTMB and Shriners Burn Hospital.  I believe that I can grow personally and professionally in such an institution, which treats children and adults, conducts burns and other medical research, and trains medical personnel.


2. Describe your approach to case conceptualization, how your conceptualization informs treatment, and how assessment is linked to your conceptualization and treatment planning.

I believe that one's approach to case conceptualization varies depending upon what type of program you were trained in.  It is also different in various settings.  I have outlined below steps to gaining information, hypothesizing, and diagnosing patients – all part of the conceptualization process.

Coming from a School Psychology background, assessment is an integral part of working with a patient.  When initially assessing a new case, it is important to determine and define the referral question to highlight early on why the patient has been referred by themselves or a healthcare professional.  From this, you can decide upon a direction for your evaluation, specific areas to cover in the clinical interview, and begin to formulate hypotheses.  During the clinical interview, it is important to cover a broad range of areas, as well as asking very specific questions to aid in the development of these hypotheses.  The broad areas to discuss include, but are not limited to, family, developmental, educational, and behavioral history.  I follow this up with correspondence with key figures in the patient's life (e.g., family, teacher, physician).  This enables me to gain a broader, more rounded view of the patient, in various settings.

The next step is to administer various objective and projective measures.  The appropriate tests must be based on what information is deemed needed in order to provide an accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment.  The results are then used, along with previously gained information, to discount or confirm formerly developed hypotheses.  The information obtained during the evaluation is then used to develop an appropriate treatment plan, recommendations, and interventions to suit the individual's needs.

A similar method is utilized when involved in a counseling relationship.  The information is gained during the sessions.  The diagnosis is based primarily on the client's self-report, as well as observations made during the sessions.  These are compared to the diagnostic criteria laid out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition.  While formal assessment is not as strongly emphasized in this situation, it can be utilized to obtain information, confirm hypothesis, and assess progress.


3. Please describe your experience and training in work with diverse populations. Your discussion should display explicitly the manner in which multicultural / diversity issues influence your clinical practice and case conceptualization.

Much of what I have learned about various population has been largely informal and firsthand.  As mentioned earlier, living in different areas allowed me to go to school and commune with individuals from different backgrounds, including various cultures, religions, and socioeconomic statuses.  Houston is a diverse city with a predominantly Hispanic population, as such I have personal dealings with many friends and family (my sister-in-law) who are Hispanic.  While working on my Associate Degree in Spanish and learning the language, I was also given insight into the Hispanic culture.  My 20 years in martial arts has provided me with frequent interaction with the Korean community and has afforded me the opportunity to learn more about their culture and history.

Through my teaching, I have had the opportunity to work with children, adults, and families with a range of diversity, including giftedness, learning disabilities, physical handicaps, and environmental obstacles.  Working one-on-one and in group settings has allowed my to see them succeed in many ways.

The formal training that I have received in multicultural issues include a graduate level class focused on the educational, social, and emotional needs of individuals and their families with diverse backgrounds.  I completed my Master's at Indiana University Northwest located in Gary, IN.  The school had a large percentage of African-American and Hispanic populations that I interacted with both in and out of the classroom.  The Ball State University graduate program places a strong emphasis on multicultural issues.  Also, throughout my graduate training in School Psychology, I have focused my professional development toward a pediatric population.  It is often forgotten that children and adolescents are also distinct populations to adults and need to be treated accordingly, not as small adults. While this is not necessarily a multicultural issue, I believe it is an important population distinction to be aware of.

In addition to my academic coursework and research experience, I have developed my assessment skills as an independent diagnostician through my practicum with diverse populations in a variety of settings including the school psychology practicum program, local school corporations (interacting with parents, school personnel, and other professionals), and an outpatient medical agency.  To enhance my skills as a psychologist, I am currently involved in a university and school based practicum in counseling through which am I able to gain valuable therapy experiences with children, adolescents, adults, and families from all cultures, especially low SES, as the program is subsidized.

Through personal interactions and formal training, I have gained an increased awareness of how multicultural awareness influences a wide range of aspects in everyone's lives everyday. Subsequently, clinicians need to mindful, educated and sensitive to individual cultural differences when dealing with patients and family at all levels of care.  I believe that these experiences have positively impacted my clinical practice by assisting me in developing greater multicultural sensitivity and recognizing cultural influences.  I strive to attend to these issues to obtain a more complete case conceptualization, resulting in more appropriate recommendations, interventions, and treatment plans.

4. Please describe your research interests, if applicable.

I am very interested in how play therapy can be utilized to reduce a child's anxiety toward their medical treatment and its integration in rehabilitation.  To date, there is little research on the benefits of using play therapy in relation to physical pain and/or medical treatment.  Potentially, this could be extremely beneficial in a hospital setting such as Shriners’, with burn victims who undergo treatment and rehabilitation that is often very painful. Play therapy could be used to provide these patients with coping skills to better deal with these prolonged experiences.


5. How do you envision our internship site meeting your training goals and interests?

My career and personal goals are to work in a clinical setting with children and conduct research both aimed at assisting children and their families to better cope with the psychological trauma associated with physical injuries, disease, their treatment and rehabilitation.  I believe that the Psychology Resident Program at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston offers me a unique opportunity to further enhance my educational, professional, and research development.  Working as a resident at the University of Texas Medical Branch would afford me the opportunity to work closely with professionals from a variety of disciplines to develop appropriate case conceptualizations, diagnoses, and interventions.  The enjoy working in diversified settings, and so UTMB would allow me to continue to gain more experience working with individuals with a wide range of abilities.  The multidisciplinary approach to assessment and treatment offered by this program will further propagate my understanding of maximum utilization of the resources available to a practitioner in a hospital setting, where I aim to serve.

I am well versed in consultation with parents, teachers, physicians, and professionals from other disciplines, in order to develop a collaborative team that will best meet the needs of each patient.  I have developed interventions to be implemented in the home, school, and work environments.  These interventions have included curriculum modifications for students at both ends of the academic spectrum, home/school behavior modification programs, and psychosocial treatments.  Through consultation with professionals as well as the implementation of interventions, I believe I have the skills and experience academically and clinically in diversified populations in order to contribute as an effective member of the psychology team, in the largely Hispanic patient population at the University of Texas Medical Branch. The urban setting and large Hispanic population of the hospital would also provide me an opportunity to continue to develop my Spanish conversation skills.  The training I have received from an APA approved program in School Psychology based on the scientist/practitioner model has prepared me to utilize my skills in an applied setting as well as engage in and conduct research.

I am excited by the prospect of gaining experience utilizing multiple assessment and treatment approaches through the variety of rotations available at UTMB.  The therapy experiences provided for interns will allow me to hone my skills in individual, group, play, and family therapy.  I am also interested in building upon my skills in consultation, early intervention, and the use of behavior modification.  In addition, gaining new skills in the areas of crisis intervention and services for medical inpatients appeals to me.  A psychology internship within this setting would fit well with my career aspirations as a clinical and research psychologist.
