Hey everyone! My name is Emily Vachon, I am in fourth year at Trent University, finishing up my BSc this semester. My long term career goal is to become a psychotherapist focused on counselling individuals who have suffered through various levels of trauma. This career choice came to me after spending a summer working as a student in a women’s shelter, where I was able to make connections with women and families from all walks of life and experiences. In only four months, this position opened my eyes to the impact different trauma can have on an individual, and I immediately knew that this would be the career for me.
Outside of school I currently have two part-time jobs, I am teaching myself to knit, and I’m learning various ways to be as eco-friendly as possible (my 2 biggest 2020 resolutions). I missed the first week of this class because I was on the waitlist but I’m looking forward to a semester investigating the construct of evil in psychology. I have been interested in taking this course since I toured Trent the first time and I’m excited to see what kind of discussions we will have over the course of the semester!
