Summary
I’m a psychology and communications student at George Washington University with hands-on experience in clinical, academic, and media settings.

Studios. My background in both psychology and media gives me a unique lens on communication, empathy, and teamwork, which allows me to tackle challenges creatively and with a focus on people.
