Travis Parrish
M.A., Student Intern
Hey Everyone, I am Travis, a Graduate student intern with Wake Forest University (Go Deacs). I come to you today with over a decade of experience in public education and service. My heart for service extends beyond the walls of the classroom into the community as I seek to improve the lives of those around me.
Originally, I'm from North Carolina, but I moved to Florida in 2018 to begin my first master’s degree in Educational Leadership. After graduating in 2020, I seized the opportunity to work for Orange County Public Schools eventually teaching. Teaching post-pandemic sure wasn’t easy but it fueled my passion to seek higher things and I went back to school to practice therapy. My own experiences in psychotherapy had led me to seek this dynamic and exciting field.
Outside of the office, I like to be outside nearly as much as I like being inside watching The Office. I have a Lab/Pitbull mix named Ian-Theo that keeps all of my attention.
I hope to create a space where you feel as if you’re the most important person in the room, because you are!
