About

I moved a lot as a child, and by a lot I mean 7 times, attending 6 different schools. I learned very quickly how to meet people and became very aware of psychological and sociological concepts without being aware of it. I made my way through the public school system, struggling to find a subject that I was truly passionate about. It wasn't until my junior year that I took a psychology class and fell in love immediately. I had no idea that there was a subject dealing with things that I had been curious about my entire life. I graduated high school and attended a local community college; over the course of the next year my eyes were opened to the world. I realized how sheltered I had been, how little public schools had actually taught me about life and what it meant to be human. There is so much more out there that I haven't discovered, and I now have a burning need to go out into the unknown and discover it.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I don't have a job path, I have a life path. The goal of my life path is to live for others, and I believe that in order to do that one needs to have a vast understanding of the human mind. I plan to travel and find what work I can, if there is a job in the field of psychology conducive to that plan then so be it, otherwise I'm open to pretty much anything.

Graduate school interests

As of right now I'm not sure, if I find a specific topic I'm interested in I will do it. I may also take a year or two after undergrad to truly figure out what I want.

Outside the classroom

I am constantly researching new music and go to as many shows and festivals as possible, I also dabble in trying to make my own music. I love to fish, hike, mountain bike, and camp. I also write when I find the time or feel inspired.
