sleepinggardens's journey

I recently faced a setback when I applied to the Clinical Psychology doctoral program at UPR and was rejected due to insufficient experience in the field. I've spent the last two years teaching in holistic education, focusing on neurodivergent children, and I thought that experience would be relevant. Unfortunately, it wasn’t considered enough. Now, I'm urgently searching for a job that aligns with my bachelor's degree in psychology. I'm open to any position, regardless of pay, as I just want to gain relevant experience. I also have a minor in Early Childhood Development and have worked at a crisis center in Florida, as well as a student resource center for those needing academic accommodations. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has suggestions on where I could start looking for opportunities in the field, or where psychologists in Puerto Rico typically gain their initial experience before pursuing their doctoral studies.
