“I knew I wanted to pursue a career in psychology when I was a junior in high school, after taking my first psychology class. I love working with people to help them achieve their goals and witnessing the progress they make along the way. I find my work incredibly fulfilling and feel fortunate to have the opportunity to help others.”
