Summary
Recent undergraduate from the University of California, Irvine with a Bachelors degree in Psychological Science. Four years of experience working in ABA therapy as a Behavioral Interventionist where I gathered data on client skills and behaviors. Interested in utilizing knowledge gained in ABA and internship at Project Access to undertake research at the California State University of Long Beach. Would like to pursue research how the lack of opportunities for education amongst communities of color can impact attitudes toward mental health issues and how these perceptions may affect future generations.
