Summary
I am an undergraduate student at Boston University majoring in Psychology with a minor in Applied Human Development. I’m deeply interested in clinical psychology, especially in understanding and supporting individuals with anxiety, depression and PTSD. My current focus is on exploring both pharmacological treatments (e.g., SSRIs, beta-blockers) and behavioral interventions (e.g., CBT, PET).
Through coursework and hands-on experiences, I’m building a strong foundation in psychological science and am eager to contribute to research and clinical initiatives that enhance mental health outcomes and promote evidence-based care.
