Student Spotlight!
Our student spotlight this week is Midori Shaink (she/her)! Midori is a current 3rd year student in our program and is currently placed at Bryan City Schools. Her favorite part of the University of Toledo’s program is the several opportunities to have field experience and closeness to home. Marti wanted to be a school psychologist because she has always loved working in schools and have always wanted to help students realize their many strengths. She loves the school psychology allows her to help students in many ways. Post-graduate, she hopes to work somewhere in the Toledo area. A fun fact about Midori is that she loves to travel and wants to eventually visit Greece and Alaska.
