Summary

As a dedicated and empathetic psychology student, I'm passionate about understanding human behavior and am eager to apply my knowledge in a practical setting. My coursework has provided me with a strong foundation in research methods and critical thinking, which I've complemented with the broad perspective gained from studying towards my liberal arts minor. I am excited by the opportunity to bring this unique skill set to the daycare teacher role at Taos High School and contribute to a collaborative team.
