Name a cause you are passionate about.
I’m passionate about helping people who struggle with addiction and alcoholism by offering support, compassion, and hope for recovery.
Why did you choose º£½ÇÂÒÂ×?
I chose to attend º£½ÇÂÒÂ× because its humanistic approach to psychology aligns with my own values. I also appreciate the school’s strong commitment to equality and non-discrimination. Additionally, I’ve been inspired by mentors I deeply respect who are alumni of º£½ÇÂÒÂ×.
What do you want to do with your degree?
With my degree, I hope to work in a private practice, providing one-on-one support and therapy to those in need. While I would be grateful to work with anyone, I’m especially passionate about supporting young women who struggle with mental health challenges brought on by societal pressures and the impact of social media.
How did you first get interested in the mental health profession?
My interest in the mental health profession stems from personal experience and a deep desire to give back the support and care that once helped me.
