Summary
I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and am now preparing to begin my Master’s in Psychology this September. I’m currently seeking an entry-level position or internship in software development, data analysis, or a related tech field. While my foundation is in technology, I also have a strong interest in psychology and behavioral analysis. I genuinely enjoy supporting others in making informed decisions and improving their mental well-being. My background includes tutoring and mentoring, where I’ve helped individuals grow both academically and personally. Whether I’m coding or offering guidance, I’m passionate about problem-solving and helping people find better, smarter paths forward
