About
My fascination with human behavior has always driven my academic interests. Around three years ago, I had the privilege of attending a summer class at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg Virginia, where I was introduced to the fundamentals of psychology. This experience ignited a passion within me; I became captivated by the complexities of psychological principles and how they apply to everyday life. Following this course, I delved deeper into the subject by reading various books on psychology and engaging in conversations with professionals in the field. These interactions further solidified my desire to study psychology as a career. As I explored different branches of psychology, I discovered criminal psychology- a sub-field that particularly intrigued me due to its many career paths. The specific fields, such as crime analyst, forensic psychologist, or corrections counselor, excites me. Each position offers unique challenges and opportunities for growth, and I aspire to gain experience in all these areas as I advance in my career. Looking ahead, my ultimate goal is to earn a Ph.D. in psychology by the age of 27 or 28. With my current path, I am confident that I can achieve this milestone. I believe that pursuing higher education will not only enhance my knowledge but also empower me to make meaningful contributions to the field of psychology. Through dedication and hard work, I am committed to realizing my dreams and positively impacting society.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I am studying to become a criminal psychologist. Psychology has always been a passion of mine. Working with criminals and understanding the external and internal conditions that made them who they are today, can help reintegrate them back into society.
- Graduate school interests
After I complete my Batchlors degree in Criminal Psychology, I will then pursue a Master of Science Criminal Justice: Forensic Psychology degree.
- Outside the classroom
I am an avid reader, if I have spare time I will probably be reading. I am also very artistic, I love to draw, paint, and craft. I am also a big nerd which means I love to go to conventions and dress up, while also making my own props.
