About

I am a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. I have completed a BSLAS double majoring in Psychology and Political Science. I focused my Political Science Major in international diplomacy and democratic relations. I studied abroad in Vienna, Austria during the summer of 2013. I frequented the major headquarters including the United Nations and The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. My primary focus in Austria was on comprehensive nuclear treaties and diplomatic relations between European countries.

I focued my psychological studies on cognitive law affairs such as the following: false memories, observer effects, interrogation tactics, and confession neuroscience. I was a lab assistant for Dr. Phillip Rodkin during my junior year at the university. I assisted him and his team in data collection and entry for personality and social development analysis of grade school students.

I am graduating a year ahead of my age group due to the fact that I completed high school in three years. In compliment with my schooling, I have always had a steady job since I was 16. I have a strong initiative to go above and beyond at work. I have learned exceptional organizational skills and the ability to work under pressure through my years as an employee. I have worked as a personal assistant for quadriplegics and the university. I have also worked full time at Panera Bread for the last two years in addition to taking classes full time. I will be graduated after May 2014 and have full-time, open availability beginning in June 2014 due to private LSAT tutoring I am receiving on campus.
