About
I will be attending William Jessup University starting in the Fall of 2020 containing my pursuit for my degree in psychology. I am currently taking a summer course at Las Positas College to complete my Associate of Arts for Transfer in Psychology. I hope to one day obtain my Ph.D in counseling psychology and become a professor in psychology while running my own private practice. I have lived in San Ramon, California my whole life with. I have always had a passion for helping people and I have explored several careers where I can help others, and I ended up landing on psychology with an emphasis on counseling. I feel that I can make a difference in people's lives and help them when they are in need of help. I also believe being a professor is a good way to help thr next generation, and I have a passion to teach as well. Helping the next generation learn draws my interest and I hope to be able to run a private practice while being a professor someday. I have been apart of several clubs in my time at Las Positas College including the Psychology Club, and the Honors Program Club. I was the treasurer in both of these clubs while I was a member. I was a Psi Beta member as well, which is the national honors society of psychology for community college. My desire and passion to do something good for this world, whether it be by teaching or helping someone, is what drives me to be the best person I can be.
