About

I´m a dedicated woman, who is really interested in social projects with the purpose of contributing to society. I´m a really spiritual woman and I value waking up every day and being thankful for the things I already have and for my abilities to learn and develop myself. That´s why I´m always looking for opportunities to learn different things and also learn more about the things I´m already interested in, which I would call my hobbies. Spending time with my family is really important for me, because they inspire me to live like them, I use their image to improve myself always. My mom has always been my greatest supporter and she´s always there for me, no matter what, that´s why I use her as my greatest influence.

Goals and interests

Career goal

After graduating from college, I plan on working at a hospital, where I can attend many clinical psychological case studies or maybe at a police precinct or bigger organization in forensic psychology. I plan also on conducting research, with a group of other colleagues, improving the current psychological field. I believe some people can make a difference in others` lives, and I want to be one of those people, by contributing to the society I will be inserted into, using my gifts and skills developed during college, embracing opportunities and being an influential leader to my generation.

Graduate school interests

I´m interested in joining as many groups as possible, so that I can connect with people that have similar mentalities, purposes and interests as me. I intend to graduate in psychology, because it´s a field of study I love and it intrigues me so much. Whenever I get to college in August, I´ll look for religious, sports, reading and studying groups, so that I can surrond myself with the same mentality as me.
