After earning both a BA in Psychology and a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, my goal is to practice psychotherapy for individuals with depression and anxiety. This is something that I am truly passionate about, given my own personal experience with depression and anxiety. I know what it is like to struggle with these mental illnesses, and would like to treat others and help them heal in their own, individualized way. Eventually, I want to obtain an LPC and work as my own, independent practitioner.
After my graduation in 2026 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Computer Science, and a minor in Philosophy, I plan to continue on my path towards a career in computer programming. Specifically, I would like to work in artificial intelligence (A.I.). With the rise of technology and A.I., I want to be a part of integrating it safely, effectively, and morally into our society. A.I. is a new and frightening technology for many people, and I believe that my academic experiences across Psychology and Philosophy, as well as my own personal life experiences, make me someone fit to work with A.I. and provide a humanistic touch to it. I want to help grow A.I., while also making it compatible with emotional and personable aspects unique to humans. Where many people see the future of A.I. as something out of the Matrix, I see it as something that can be beneficial and safe, as long as the world has responsible, intelligent, and ethical people working on it. I believe myself to be one of those potential people, and want nothing more than to be a part of this progressive time in history.
