In this special anniversary episode of the Prepared School Psych Podcast, host Jenny Ponzuric reflects on her one-year journey with the podcast and shares her personal story and career path as a school psychologist. Jenny discusses her initial discovery of the field, her experiences working in Southern California, and her progression from juggling multiple responsibilities to supervising practicum students, exploring neuropsychology, and ultimately starting her own business. She underscores the importance of finding one's purpose and how she has continuously evolved to support more students. The episode also highlights her work with the Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses model and her shift from a county office position to running her training and support platform for school psychologists.
