This Week We Hear from Our School Psychologist's Office
My name is Rachael O’Donnelly and I will be Carmela Ulmschneider’s school psychology practicum student for the 2015 - 2016 school year. I am currently a second year student in Northeastern University’s M.S./CAGS program in school psychology and I will be at the Peabody School two days per week. I am originally from Rhode Island, but I moved to the Boston area to complete my undergraduate degree. I am excited to become a part of the school community and I look forward to meeting you all!
