Summary

As a sophomore at Rutgers University Newark, I am pursuing a Psychology major with double minors in Cognitive Neuroscience and Business Administration. Actively engaged as a research assistant in a brain imaging lab and a behavioral therapist at Circle Care Services, I am cultivating a foundation for my ambition to become a Clinical Psychologist specializing in pediatric care. My diverse interests span across fields such as Human Resources, Speech Pathology, School Psychology, and Industrial Psychology.

At Walgreens, where I serve as a Shift Lead, I've developed valuable expertise in cash handling and honed marketing techniques. Immersed in the company's human resources intricacies, I've developed a deep interest in this area, motivating me to explore further. Throughout my undergraduate journey, I am actively seeking varied experiences to expand my knowledge and skill set.

Affiliations

Sunday School Servant at St. Mary and St. Mercurius Coptic Orthodox Church: Starting as a Sunday School teacher for Pre K, then moving up to 1st graders, and now teaching 3rd graders, is a job I love. I don't just teach lessons from the Bible; I cover lots of different topics, like why we celebrate certain occasions, and why we fast and pray. We also learn to remember prayers from the Agpeya. My goal is not just to give lessons but to help these children really get what our faith is about and why it's so special. It's an important job, and I enjoy every Sunday with the kids.
