Summary
I am a recent college graduate who is passionate and career-driven, pursuing a goal of becoming a licensed mental health counselor. My curiosity in the human brain pushes me to greater heights to investigate the behavioral process, and how outside influences and the environment may influence our reasoning and our actions. I plan on applying for my M.S. degree in counseling this Fall.
