About
My name is Kora Martin, and I am currently a first-year student at IUPUI. I am double majoring in psychology and criminal justice, and I plan to go to graduate school and get my masters. With my degrees, I would like to research nonverbal body langage and criminal deviance; more specifically, I have always been an observer, and people are very complex and challenging to study, which is why I find it so interesting.
