Summary
I am a Psychology major with a forensic focus, minoring in Political Science and Pre‑Law. I have hands‑on experience in legal research, case analysis, and professional writing through my internship with Attorney McKee, where I drafted case summaries, reviewed legal documents, and communicated with clients and attorneys. I also have research experience in psychological testing and social‑behavioral studies, including projects on ADHD masking and social anxiety in college students. My background combines behavioral science, legal studies, and research methodology, preparing me for roles that require strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and clear communication.
