Welcome to my monthly updates! I hope you can learn a little bit more about the work that I am doing while I study at Antioch University – Seattle.

Next Step:
Well I didn’t get the chance to say I was done with all this B.S. when I graduated, but I do get to say that I am a B.ad A.** for getting the chance to pursue a Doctorate!
Future Clinicians Association:
Last time, I mentioned that I had the chance to charter a new organization right before I left USF. Well, I’m proud to say that I got the opportunity to interview and appoint new candidates who truly believe in the mission and will keep this organization going!
My next step with this group is guiding the incoming leadership team, and I’ve also decided to serve as a mentor for students looking to pursue a PsyD! But that’s not all… many of you know that I like to go big, so I am talking to friends and colleagues at other institutions in hopes of getting something similar started there. Who knows? Maybe we might go national!
Antioch University-Seattle:
Updates for this section will start in October, when I start classes!
Personal Life:
I am currently back in Texas visiting family for a few weeks, and then I plan to head back to California to spend time with my siblings but also with my nieces and nephews before I head off to college again!
I have also been in the process of looking for apartments, which is also a fun and stressful mess. I’ve found a couple of places that I really like, but there might not be availability when I plan to move. So stay tuned, and I hope to give you all a virtual tour some day!
Special Projects:
Well time to update you on all the projects that I am currently working on:
bMart Photos – I rebranded my Photography Instagram! I hope to start posting more photos as I travel around the world this summer!
BachStreetBoi – This is the name I use for all my artwork. I plan to continue posting art pieces on my instagram over the summer, but will be putting a hold on streaming/youtube, as well as my stick and enermal pin shop until I move out to Seattle!
Ink Bits Community – This an Instagram community for several artists to partake in learning from each other and undertaking monthly challenges. I am currently looking to pass on the leadership role to another artist to ensure that content is constantly being created and posted.
AnxieTea Podcast – Over the past couple of months I’ve been developing a podcast that focuses on mental health! I have several guest speakers who are ready to talk about some very personal topics, but I just need to sit down and find time to record and edit these sessions. I am hoping to start releasing in October/November, so stay tuned!
Instructions Unclear – I have a board game addiction! So I decided to start creating tutorials, reviews, and gameplay! I am writing scripts and working on graphics this summer, to make the recording process easier in October! So stay tuned for this as well!
The PsyDream Vlog – Over the years I’ve been working on NextSteps as the blog that keeps you posted on my daily life! I’ve decided that this project will be absorbed into the PsyDream Vlog! You may have noticed that I said Vlog and not Blog! This time I want to create videos so you can get a glimpse of my daily life! I hope others can get a better idea of what it means to be a PsyD student!
Thank you for your time, dedication, and service!
