About
I am currently enrolled in a Bachelor's of Science in Healthcare Administration degree program. After I obtain this degree, my next move is toward a Doctorate in Psychology. I have not yet chosen a specific branch of psychology, but I know that I want to help those with mental disorders that affect their quality of life. I have always been fascinated by the human mind and how it works as well as helping friends and family deal with stressful situations. Throughout my life, people have always come to me for advice or as a shoulder to cry on. It just seemed natural for me to do something in the area of health care. I want to help those that are typically overlooked and negatively categorized because of outdated or misrepresented data. In life being healthy not only means the body but also, the mind and I want to be one of the people that assist in improving the overall health of society.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My ultimate career goal is to earn a Doctorate in Psychology. With this degree, I hope to make an impact on how the mentally ill are viewed and treated when seeking care. A change of perspective may just be what we need to make a better more informed decision about health care.
- Graduate school interests
My Grad school interest is to achieve a Doctorate in Psychology. I am still debating which branch of psychology I want to specialize in, but I know that I want to treat people with mental health issues, research causes and find cures for this affliction. I am looking for a school with a broad range of psychological studies that will assist me in determining which area of study will lead me to my goal.
- Outside the classroom
My hobbies are painting, and playing games with my family, and if I'm not doing that, I am in the kitchen cooking and trying new recipes.
