Goals and interests
- Career goal
I want to learn more about adolescent/developmental psychology and the psychology of trauma. Once I am qualified, I want to move back to Uganda, where I grew up, and be able to give as many kids as I can access to mental health support in a place where talking about any sort of mental health struggle is highly stigmatized.
- Graduate school interests
I'd do some niche areas of psychology. I basically just want to learn as much as possible.
- Outside the classroom
Crocheting, reading, swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and listening to podcasts.
