About
I am a graduate student in the Applied Behavior Analysis program at Jacksonville State University. I previously earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice, graduating summa cum laude with a 3.949 GPA. My academic focus includes behavior analysis, neurodevelopmental disorders, and improving access to mental health care for underserved populations. With experience as a teaching assistant, lab technician, and student researcher, I am committed to applying evidence-based interventions in clinical settings. As a nonbinary and LGBTQ+ scholar, I am also dedicated to fostering equity, inclusion, and visibility within the behavioral sciences.

- Outside the classroom
In addition to academic pursuits, I have a strong interest in music, which I often use as a tool for focus and reflection. I also enjoy narrative-driven video games, particularly within the horror genre, for their psychological complexity and immersive storytelling. My personal interests extend to LGBTQ+ media and creative writing, both of which have supported my self-exploration and contributed to my understanding of identity and representation. These hobbies provide a meaningful balance to my academic work and reflect my broader interest in human behavior and emotional experience.
