Summary
I’m a passionate and dedicated Health Psychology second year graduate student with a strong interest in understanding how psychological and social factors impact health and well-being. Currently working as a substitute teacher in Guilford County Schools, I support students from elementary through high school, which has strengthened my communication, adaptability, and compassion. I also bring experience in community volunteering, event organization, and retail leadership, where I learned the importance of teamwork, responsibility, and creating safe, supportive environments. I’m now seeking practicum or internship opportunities where I can contribute to a collaborative team, apply what I’m learning in real-world settings, and continue growing both personally and professionally in the field of health psychology.
