Melony Ann Lyon Burnett  

I am currently an MSW online student through Portland State University, seeking my second year advanced practicum in the Eugene/Springfield area.  I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Oregon State University in June, 2024.  With a major in psychology, minor in women gender and sexuality studies, and micro credential in queer studies.  While my long-time goal is to become a counselor for low income women and folks within the LGBTQIA2S+ community, I am looking forward to the new experience that my advanced practicum will bring.  Upon completion of the MSW program I will complete the LCSW licensing process.  I believe my plethora of lived experience and work experience in combination with my college education will assist me in providing comprehensive and multifaceted services.  With core values including antiracist, intersectional, and trauma-informed perspective.
