Summary

A highly organized and driven psychology student with proven leadership qualities and a passion for making a difference in other's lives, even when conflict or hardship arises. In my time as a psychology student, I have gained a mass amount of insight into social and psychological concepts. I also have extensive experience in working with others and fulfilling leadership roles. My field of study interests include child development and psychology, as well as education. I hope to perform an internship in the area of speech pathology, as being a pediatric speech pathologist is my long-term career goal.
