About
I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Juniata College in 2014. After graduating, I took a year off in order to gain work experience and give myself time to determine which sub-field of psychology I wanted to pursue a master's degree in. Having completing extensive research, I determined that Industrial/Organizational Psychology was the field of study that best matched my interests. I then applied to several programs and eventually decided to enroll in the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where I am now in the process of earning my degree. I am currently on track to graduate from the program with my master's degree in December of 2017.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
After I complete my master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, I would ideally like to pursue a career as a consultant. Consulting has a particularly strong appeal to me, because I enjoy solving puzzles as well as tackling challenging new tasks, and both of these activities are a fundamental part of a consult's job.
