About
My goal in life is to help others, specifically those with traumatic brain injuries and PTSD, rewire their brain in a way that allows them to live their best life. I'm currently working on a double major in both Psychology and Sociology, then I plan to pursue my doctorate in Neuropsychology. Currently, I work as a rehabilitation specialist for individuals with intellectual disabilities who display problematic behaviors with a goal to help them learn to live their healthiest lives and gain independence.
