ANTICIPATED GRADUATION DATE:
2021
HOMETOWN:
Chicago, IL
WHY YOU CHOSE ROOSEVELT:
Roosevelt offers a lot of classes that other universities don’t. Also, it incorporates the city and what it has to offer into the education, which is really unique and cool.
MAJOR/MINOR:
Psychology
WHY YOU CHOSE THIS MAJOR/MINOR:
I became interested in Psychology through watching Criminal Minds and other shows like Snapped. I was always curious about what was going on in a person’s mind that made them act in certain ways and that curiosity led me to studying Psychology.
DREAM JOB AND WHY:
My dream job is to be a clinical psychologist who focuses on children and adolescents as well as their family structure. I think that by working with children at young ages and giving them a better understanding of mental health early on, leads to healthier mental states in the future and destigmatized treatment.
