Angelina M. O'Brien, M.A., Agency Counseling, 2011; C.A.G.S., 2014
In 2011, Angelina earned a Master's Degree in Agency Counseling with a specialization in Co-occurring Disorders. Engrossed by her studies, she persisted as a student at RIC, enrolling in the Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies (CAGS) in Mental Health Counseling. While completing this credential, she continued to gain skill as a Master's Level Counselor, working with a diverse range of clients in a private practice. In 2014, she received her CAGS and became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the State of Rhode Island.
"The CAGS in Mental Health Counseling provided me with the ability to adapt to the ever-changing field of human services as well as the capability to apply what I have learned to a number of settings. It allowed me to utilize my skills beyond my field of study and I now focus much of my work on higher education research. My experience at Rhode Island College has been invaluable and I owe much of my success to the amazing faculty in the program."
Angelina is also the Director of Institutional Research, Planning, and Assessment at Bristol Community College. In fall 2013, she co-taught a graduate level l Higher Education Research course through Eastern Nazarene College.
