Goals and interests

Career goal

As a young girl, I always looked up to my mom and aspired to be a nurse just like her. In the middle of nursing school I became fascinated with crime and the way the human mind worked and decided to switch my major to Psychology and minor in Criminology. After I graduate, I plan to get a job as a Criminal Psychologist and help the police force to better understand and pursue criminals.

Graduate school interests

After I finish my undergraduate degree at Hardin-Simmons for Psychology, I plan to enroll in their Graduate program and earn my graduate degree in Psychology.
