About

To aid in my path to becoming a marriage and family therapist (MFT), I have taken sciences such as biology, chemistry, and AP Psychology. Taking English classes such as AP Language and Composition, AP Lit, English IB, and English Honors has enabled my vocabulary to be expanded and prepared me for my line of work. To express my creativity I am enrolled in my school's film program, I learn to analyze films and create passion projects.

Graduate school interests
