About

Hello! I am Amanda Lopez, and I am currently a Junior at the University of Central Florida. I am pursuing a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the same university. Afterward, I will be opening up my practice and non-profit organization to raise money for children with autism living in families that cannot afford sufficient resources or aid for their children. I would like to make a difference in the communities that cannot afford to get the assistance that their children need to be able to grow up prepared to face the world. Overall, I just want to see every child that I meet overcome obstacles and be their best and happiest self.
