Summary
I am a Hispanic female, a first-generational psychology major, and a graduate student striving to fulfill her passion for guiding children to reach their full learning potential. I am very organized, creative, and detail-oriented. Both individual and group settings are enjoyable to work in. I often use my background in psychology to analyze what interventions or resources students may need to fulfill their assignments with the most success. Two essential characteristics in educational work environments are empathy and hope, and I will make sure to apply these in my work environment.
