Summary

I am a current senior and psychology major at West Chester University. I am looking forward to starting my career in the mental health field when I conclude my studies at West Chester. I hope to become involved in child and or sports psychology when I begin my career in the field. I have an avid passion for assisting people with mental health issues, or even those who just need someone to talk to. I am a founding member of the Mental Health Committee within my fraternity PI Kappa Alpha, where I have also served as our chapters Diversity and Inclusions Chair. Aside from studying and being passionate about psychology I have had a plethora of different jobs and work experience which I feel have helped me learn and grow not just as a person but as a psychology student as well. These jobs and experiences include four summers as a camp counselor, eight years of restaurant experience in all positions, as well as a variety of manual labor jobs over the years. Aside from my work and school experiences, I enjoy playing golf, going to the gym, and spending time with family and friends. I am eager to complete my education this upcoming spring, and I look forward to what is next in store!
