As I approach the completion of my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Minor in Women and Gender Studies at Pittsburg State University, I have developed a strong commitment to addressing mental health challenges and supporting individuals affected by domestic abuse and partner violence. My academic experiences have deepened my understanding of these critical issues, and I am dedicated to pursuing further education through a Master’s program in Social Work, where I aim to develop the advanced skills necessary to advocate for and empower vulnerable populations.
