Bio

I am a current undergraduate student at Hope College on track to graduate in 2024. I am studying Psychology and Spanish, but am hoping to squeeze in a third degree in Neuroscience as well if I have the space! I am passionate about understanding the brain and human behavior, as I love people, and plan to get involved with research at my college. I am involved with a lot on campus; I love being busy! I am a member of a local sorority through which I volunteer in my community, I am a Pull coach (one of the oldest college traditions in the nation) and I hold three on-campus jobs: a desk-worker at the library, a research assistant/TA for my Spanish professor, and a prospective student host through my college's Admissions Office. Additionally, I participate in intramural sports. Currently, I am leading an ultimate frisbee team! In my free time I love reading, all things music, and spending time with my friends, family, and faith community. Eventually, I plan to continue my education through either a Masters or PhD program. Although I haven't decided what I want my future to look like, I want to set myself up for success. Ultimately, I want to work with people and make a positive impact on whatever environment I am in. I believe I am capable of whatever I put my mind to, and I'd love to use my drive and passion for others to make a positive change in the world.
