highly motivated, hardworking recent graduate, with experience as researcher, teaching assistant, and ambition to become a mental health counselor in Amherst, Massachusetts
Thank you for visiting my page! Let me tell you a little about myself.
I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a secondary major in classical civilizations. My next plans include working in transition services and pursuing a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Ultimately, my goal is to become a licensed psychologist.
I am driven to better the lives of the people around me. As a teaching assistant in an Introductory Psychology lecture, I helped over 400 students to develop a deeper understanding of the material and to excel in the course. I also worked for a year in a laboratory on campus studying the effects of gender stereotypes. This research can be applied to help solve real problems and change society for the better. I am excited to a be a part of that.
I am a motivated student, just as confident working independently or on a cohesive team. I pride myself on my excellent communication skills, leadership abilities, and dedication to detail. I have a passion for expanding my knowledge of psychology and seek to develop practical skills in patient care and treatment. I strive to make even a small positive difference in the lives of people with mental illness.
