MICHAEL COSME

New Milford,NJ

Summary

I have had a profound interest in psychology, specifically Industrial/Child Development Psychology since I was a child. My first avenue into that realm was through tutoring at a young age, understanding and learning the state of the academic/home life of a lot of my students and finding a correlation of how well each of those effected each other. I have always been one for finding ways or solutions that could help ease and help people in both a mental and productivity aspect, pushing my interest into research work force and child habits and what can be done to improve that.
