cpsylist: assessment externship open now

[Lisette Sanchez]

Good morning everyone!

I am currently at this assessment externship and would like to say that 
it has been an amazing training experience so far (especially if you are 
interested in developing your report writing skills). I am really 
enjoying my time there. Please feel free to reach out to me for any 
questions.
