About

I am a rising senior at Texas A&M University where I hope to receive a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I hope to further my education through graduate school and earn a master's degree in Psychology or Neuroscience. I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, where I completed my education at Fort Worth Country Day, a college-prep private school. My family thoroughly enjoys traveling, and so I have had the privilege of seeing my parts of the world, my favorite being Africa. My father attended Texas A&M and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Business, and my mother attended SMU where she too received a Bachelor of Arts in Business. My family shares a profound love for Texas A&M as we are a long line of Aggies, beginning with my grandfather, Ford D Albritton Jr. My grandfather's love for Texas A&M continues to resonate through campus even after his recent death through his proudest contribution, the Aggie Bell Tower. My family is one of hard-working people driven by fervent ambition, dedication, and tenacity. I hope to carry these principles with me into my future profession and to make lasting contributions to my community.
