Nadiia Konieva

  • Junior, Psychology major

My name is Nadiia Konieva and I am currently a junior majoring in Psychology and minoring in Counseling. After graduating in 2026 I am planning to go to the graduate school for a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling so I will be able to get my LPC. As a sophomore I already did my field placement in the nonprofit organization STRYV365, which is about building resilience and promoting mental health to kids. Besides that we were providing trainings for teachers about strategies to promote it in classroom through interactive games. In addition, I am on the UWM tennis team where I currently play on number one position. I also love crafts so I can do crocheting, drawing, sculpting, and enjoy nature while hiking. I have been dreaming to become a therapist since middle school and I am grateful to have been accepted into Phi Beta Kappa and have access to endless opportunities and people.
