Internships Casey worked as a Clinical Assistant I at Kennedy Krieger Institute where he administered direct one-on-one aid for pediatric patients with Autism and other developmental delays. The patients had behaviors that were aggressive, self-injurious or extremely compulsive. As their aide, he would help them with daily activities while implementing patient specific protocols to help them minimize their behaviors in the future. Following his internship, Casey continued to work at Kennedy Krieger during the summer between junior and senior year and part-time throughout senior year.
How did the Br. Tom Miller Program prepare you for college and your career? I believe that the Br. Tom Miller Program helped me prep for college by exposing me to a more rigorous course load similar to what I experienced in college. I also think there were countless opportunities to make connections or explore various academic/work fields that I don't think I would have been exposed to without Br, Tom Miller Program.
How did participating in the program set you apart from other seniors applying for college? Obviously, the rigorous course load was beneficial, but I think the TED Talk and senior project really helped. It was something that I could write about during my applications that I actually cared about and could call "mine".
What advice do you have for the current students in the program? Go to all the events that you can to see what you are interested in. Also don't stress too much over the "perfect" scores, grades, activities etc. Do what you like to do and study, but don't kill yourself for getting a 95 instead of 100. What was the best thing about being in the Br. Tom Miller Program? The friendships that I made with my classmates., many of which I still have today.
