About

A social, passionate, and caring woman, I am also a diligent student and friend. My drive comes from my supportive family, friends, and their beliefs in my academic and future success. My family has traveled across the United States because of my father's service in the Air Force, allowing me to have an array of opportunities and experiences with interesting people, environments, and access to different points of view and knowledge. Having been influenced by the military lifestyle, I have found a passion for brave and wonderful people that make sacrifices to keep our country safe and fruitful. My desire and attraction for psychology has led me to want to help our brave men and women find peace of mind and have the opportunity to give something back to them and others that protect and serve our country, such as the police, fire fighters, etc.
