When you're new and you're just getting out of grad school, you really think that there is a process, and that you just go along with it. ![]() I definitely realized the first thing is advocacy. A lot of things I wish I would have done differently are things that I'm going to bring today in our talk. Having so much in just coming out of grad school, I felt really reluctant to speak up and I felt I just needed to go along with it and really figure out how to make it work. Then I also had an autism clinic that I had about 10 children, but their hours were equivalent to probably 30. I would be about 15 minutes with a caseload of a 115 just starting. Then I found out that it would be a two-place assignment. When I finally got a job, I was so excited.

We have this magic fairy dust, and we want to help all the people. I think, we were so excited to get into grad school and we're so excited to get out. I wanted to really talk about the things that I wish I would have had with me going into my CFY year. It's so interesting to be on the other side of this, because normally I moderate also.
