About
I have had a strong interest in Psychology since I was very young, and began additionally branching off into Criminal Justice after finding a lot of overlap between the two in my studies. My main goal with my career has always been to follow a path in which I can help as many people as possible, and I believe that Psychology in particular will lead me there. I've always really enjoyed school, and put my all into assuring that I learn and excel as much as possible.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I intend to work in a counseling position, specifically for adolescents who may be struggling with disordered eating and/or sexual assault. I feel passionately about helping those with these experiences, especially adolescents who may not have adequate support coping with these often traumatic events.
- Graduate school interests
I'm interested in pursuing the University of Washington's Psychology program for grad school, as I have had great experiences thus far attending the University of Washington. Alternatively, I have also considered Gonzaga University and Central Washington University as backup plans in the event that I do not end up enrolling in UW's program.
- Outside the classroom
I began playing piano when I was 5, and really enjoy expressing myself through music. I am also a huge nature and animal lover, so being outdoors with my pets is one of my favorite ways to spend my time.
