About
Hello! I’m a dedicated and passionate professional with a diverse background in the U.S. Army as a Human Intelligence Linguist and in the field of Psychology as a Registered Behavior Technician. I specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and currently work with students in a public-school setting.
I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and plan to further my education with a Master’s and Doctorate degree, concentrating on Mental Health. My ultimate career goal is to become a psychiatrist, where I can continue to make a significant impact on people’s lives.
My key skills include linguistic intelligence, behavioral analysis, and therapeutic intervention. I’m always looking for opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute to my field. Let’s connect!
