In this video, I interview Rebecca (Becca) S. Levine, she/her. Becca is a Ph.D. student in Education Studies at the University of California, San Diego. After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Miami, she served as an AmeriCorps member with City Year Miami, providing individual, classroom and school-wide support to help students succeed in school. Becca then moved to Boston and earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston College. After working for several years as a clinical social worker in school, group home, and outpatient settings, specializing in child trauma therapy, she passed the Massachusetts board to become a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). She also conducted research on school-based mental health services with Dr. Jennifer Greif Green at Boston University. During her last year and a half in Boston, Becca managed the launch of the Biobehavioral and Social-Emotional Development Lab with Dr. Nicholas Wagner at Boston University, co-designing studies and training research staff. At UCSD, Becca partners with communities to understand and promote social-emotional wellbeing of students, teachers and families.

WHO AM I?
I am a Harvard Graduate School of Education alumni '16 and a current PhD student in the Department of Education Studies at the University of California San Diego. I produce videos about the graduate school application and my journey through a PhD program. Subscribe to follow my journey through the PhD experience and to gain insight on how to best prepare for the graduate school application process.
I created this channel because I did not have access to many resources when I was applying for graduate programs. Now that I have been through two graduate school application processes, I want to share my knowledge and the helpful information I have gained through those experiences.
Additionally, for the past four years, I have been working as a Retention Specialist and Director for a federally-funded program at a higher education institution. I spent these four years helping over 400 students to apply to four-year institutions, attain scholarships, and navigate the higher education system. I created this channel in order to share my knowledge of college access as it pertains to graduate school.
