Assistant Director
Vickie majored in Psychology at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut (another small, private, liberal arts college in an urban setting). After graduating, she worked as a case manager for adolescents with mental health issues before returning to graduate school and completing her MS in School Psychology at the University of Rhode Island. That led to a career as a school psychologist in a public school system assessing and counseling students from preschool through high school. Vickie came to Clark in 1997 and serves as an illustration of how it is possible to take your education and skills and transfer them into a new career. She now advises students on all aspects of career exploration, the job search process, and applying to graduate school.
