Summary

Upon completing my bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Biology, I accepted a position as a Psychiatric Technician at a medical center. After a year in this role, I observed a troubling cycle in which patients repeatedly entered and exited the facility. Although considerable effort was devoted to treatment, I noted a significant lack of support directed toward preventing future episodes of psychosis. This experience motivated me to enhance my contributions to the clients with whom I interacted daily. Consequently, I made the decision to pursue a master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, which I completed in May 2025. My mission is to provide meaningful support to individuals within my community who are affected by various mental illnesses and disabilities, thereby enabling them to achieve a more fulfilling and independent life.
