Meet Aveen!

My name is Aveen Sharma and I am a current student at Adler University in Chicago. I am studying to be a counselor with a specialization in rehabilitation counseling. While I am enjoying my current studies I hope to further education in a future doctoral program. I enjoy playing tennis and my viola in my spare time. One of my favorite parts about Chicago is the summer when everyone is enjoying the outdoors.

Meet Kari!

Kari Barnhill is a Florida native who is currently braving the climate of Illinois. She received her BA in psychology from Florida International University, MA in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University, and is currently a doctoral student (Clinical Psych) at Adler University who will specialize in Behavioral Medicine and Trauma. Kari enjoys traveling (domestically/internationally), dancing, cooking, and meeting new people.  Fun fact: She was once chased into a bathroom by an angry peacock!
