I am a psychology major at Hunter College of the City University of New York. In addition to being a student, I act as research coordinator for The Hunter College Addiction and Behavioral Impulsivity Team and an administrative assistant for an outpatient mental health facility. In my spare time, I volunteer at an after-school program for developmentally disabled children and adolescents. My aspiration to pursue a career in clinical psychology and make meaningful contributions to the field has been fostered by my past experiences in scientific communication, in basic research, and working with people suffering from mental illness.
