I intend on being a counseling psychologist (psychotherapist), but I'm also interested in performing research.

In my free time, I like to read and write. I have numerous books on my "to read" list, and just as many on my "read" list, many of which I'd be more than happy to discuss, especially since my mother, one of my biggest influences, sparked my love for reading at a young age. As for writing, I have too many rough drafts of projects that I've self assigned. If I was given more time, I'd be more than happy to sit down and finish all of them, maybe even have one or two published (a dream of mine), but I don't have the time nor resources. I also used to kayak and canoe (sprint) competitively. Until I left the sport for school, I was ranked fourth in the nation for my age group, and loved the sport more than anything. Now, I still do some recreational kayaking, but I can't overexert myself due to a shoulder injury I sustained in my last few months as an athlete.
