Nicole Villamil

I am a dedicated and accomplished Psychology student at Georgia Gwinnett College with a 3.9 GPA and extensive research experience. I have been apart of multiple research projects in areas such as food insecurity, perceived discrimination among minorities, international, and immigrant students, and non-consensual pornography and the legal system. With leadership experience in the largest student organization on campus (OLAS) and a current role as Treasurer of the Psi Chi Psychology Honors Society, I demonstrate strong leadership, academic excellence, and a passion for social and psychological research. Additionally, I work as an ABA therapist, helping clients with Autism achieve social and communication skills.
