I am a recent graduate with a BA in Psychology. I had originally decided to study psychology because of my interest in one's mental health and understanding how to better understand the maintenance and improvement of mental health. Through my psychology classes, I realized my passion for writing—both for technical and creative purposes. As such, I would ideally like to become a writer in which I will be able to combine my interests in psychology with my writing skills.
I have a strong work ethic, exceptional interpersonal skills, and a desire to take on new challenges. I show high adaptability to new and different situations with an ability to work under pressure.
