Summary

As a dedicated student at the University of North Texas, currently enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, I have consistently maintained a 3.85 GPA and earned both the President's List and Dean's List honors. My academic journey has been enriched by hands-on experience in psychology, with a special focus on issues affecting women and children. I bring a strong foundation of both part-time and full-time work experience, combined with a meticulous approach to observation, organization, and communication. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to the field of psychology and continue developing my skills as I advance in graduate studies.
