“I am looking forward to getting to know the community and learning the ways in which I can be of the most service to our veterans and their dependents,” Ryll says.
While completing graduate studies in psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, D.C, Ryll served as the transition/career counselor at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall for the US Army Soldier for Life program, where she provided individual and group counseling to enlisted and senior level active-duty service members, military families and veterans, with an emphasis on career/education planning, transition assistance and integration into civilian life.
