Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to help individuals therapeutically to better their quality of life. I also can see myself conducting therapeutic research to try and find new successful practices in cognitive therapy. I was raised by divorced parents so working with distressed children I feel may resonate with myself.

Graduate school interests

My goal is to attain the proper credentials to meet my intended job path. After I complete my undergraduate degree I will be applying to public PhD and PsyD psychology programs. If I must, am also willing to work for a Masters degree and then reach for for the PhD or PsyD program.

Outside the classroom

Skiing, mountain biking, wood working, playing guitar and piano, enjoying live music, and Track and Field(jumping).
