VERSION ENGLISH:
Dafni Sanchez; was born in the Dominican Republic, the second of four children, to a middle-class family. I emigrated with my family at ten years old from the Dominican Republic to the United States, the city of New York, to later move to Philadelphia. I attended several schools in Philadelphia, from Benjamin Rush middle school to Samuel Fields high school to Delaware Valley middle school, and graduated high school in 2001. In 2002 I returned home to my homeland and started medical school at Universidad Ibero American (UNIBE). After graduating medical school in 2008, I began working in mental health as a drug and alcohol counselor and then psychotherapist; in 2012, I became certified by the Beck Institute as a CBT therapist. In 2013 I became a mother to my son. In 2014, I had a daughter, and in 2016 a third child, a girl. These have been significant moments that have shaped my life and changed its fabric and essence. In 2018 I graduated with a master’s in psychology from the Universidad Pedro Henriquez Urena. In 2020, I lost my best friend, who kept me safe and steady in life, my father —having to grow and push through due to the world pandemic. Pushing through those times with the help of my mother, my rock, I grew into the role of Director of operations facing many challenges. I started a journey aiming to obtain a Doctoral degree in psychology from Walden University.
