Summary
I am a dedicated Psychology undergraduate with a keen interest in forensic psychology, where I blend my academic skills with hands-on research experience in Psychophysiological measures related to stress and coping mechanisms. I have a fervent interest in applying these principles within the context of Psychology. Involved in empirical research, I have experience in data analysis, and communicate findings effectively to my colleagues. I am seeking opportunities to leverage academic training and research expertise to contribute meaningfully to the field, with a focus on understanding the intricate interplay between psychological processes and legal contexts. Through my job career, I have worked in retail settings such as Chipotle and Fred Meyer, as well as my current job as an audit team leader for Western Washington Facilities. Through this experience, I have a developed a strong motivation to learn, grow, and explore my working self to understand how I can make a difference in whatever position I may have the privilege of working in.
