About

I was born and raised in a suburb of Oklahoma City. I love this town but I am extremely interested in traveling while I am still young and able. I love learning about different places. I love being immersed in a culture that is completely different than my own. I feel like traveling and learning about different places gives me a perspective that I wouldn't have if I stayed in Oklahoma.
I chose Psychology because my ultimate goal for life is to help people. I am very good at connecting one on one with people. In my heart I feel like being a counselor is completely right for me.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan to graduate from the community college I am enrolled in with an AAS in Psychology. I will then transfer and complete my Bachelor's degree. After I complete my Bachelor's I want to get my Master's degree in counseling. As of right now, I am interested in working with adolescents, but that has the possibility of changing as I get farther along in my schooling.

Graduate school interests

I am not quite sure where I would like to attend Grad School. I do know that I want to go somewhere outside of my home state of Oklahoma. California would be nice, or maybe somewhere in New York.

Outside the classroom

I love to play sports. Swimming and basketball are my favorites. I enjoy staying in shape and going to the gym to work out. I love to read, mostly romantic novels. I have played piano since I was in second grade and I enjoy sitting down when I have time and letting my emotions out in the keys. I also love to shop. Mostly with my mom or one of my close friends. I love spending time with them comparing our styles and helping each other out.
Traveling is also another one of my (expensive) hobbies. So far I have only been to places in the western hemisphere, but I would love to, and plant to, explore the eastern hemisphere in the near future!
