About
I completed my associate's degree of arts at Pierce College in Tacoma, WA in June 2015 with a 3.9 cumulative GPA. I’ll receive my Bachelor’s degree of Arts in Psychology from the University of Louisville in May 2018 then will apply for admission to a Developmental Psychology PhD program the following fall semester of 2018. I plan on exploring development in context: specifically how factors including but not limited to literacy, poverty, parental and peer relational attachment, cultural influences, and other early factors in development affect the course of a child’s path toward adulthood. After completing my higher education, I hope to teach at the University level and continue to conduct research within the field of contextual development with the goal of contributing insight through research that directly informs the way public policy, social assistance programs, and educational institutions serve children and their families experiencing specific circumstances with developmental consequences.
