About
I am a senior at California State University East Bay. I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in Business. My plan is to continue my schooling after I get my bachelors and I plan to obtain my doctorate in Psychology with an emphasis in trauma. My long term goals are to run my own retreat center where I will offer therapy to clients while also offering unique experiences such as equine therapy. I love horses and being in the outdoors. I am currently a manager and horseback riding instructor for an organization called Horse and Rider Connection. I love the opportunity to ride horses and also mentor my students. I also volunteer for Thrive with Horses where I started an annual event where we offer a horse experience to veterans and their families. This event is not only impactful for the veterans and families but I have also found it very impactful for the volunteers.
