Hello! I aspire to become a school psychologist and continue impacting children's lives academically, emotionally, and psychologically. I am on the path toward graduate school and hope to earn a Ph.D. in School Psychology. For the past four years, I have spent my time tutoring children of all ages. I enjoy witnessing children's improvement and development. I am a mentor and role model to these children which fills me with purpose every day. I like to inspire curiosity and interest in the world that encompasses them and always try to connect lessons with real-life scenarios or interesting stories. Working with these children makes me reflect on how fortunate I was to receive support from teachers. My own family did not understand the educational system nor had the means to provide tutoring if needed. I come from an immigrant family, where finances were always a main topic and issue. From a young age, I understood this, and thus I would go to a community college to continue my higher education. Then I transferred to Johns Hopkins which has been an immense and enriching learning experience. I hope to continue my education and continue impacting the lives of children and their development without financial burdens limiting my path. Thanks to Bold this could certainly be a reality!

  Volunteering · Peace Jam Foundation

  2018 – 2018

  Mission:

  During the Peace Jam Slam, I had the pleasure of mentoring middle school students on multiple community issues. I participated in activities that allowed me to develop relationships with troubled students and give them a place to speak without being judged, creating a haven many may not have. I shared my experiences with them and engaged them in conversations through interactive activities and games. One of the main topics we discussed was immigration since it is such a polemic topic that the children identify with since they are either descendant of or themselves immigrants.

  Mission:

  In the span of seven months I was an ambassador for the Changemaking project initiative. One of the ultimate objectives is to help reach the sustainable goals set by the United Nations. The training program completely shifted my paradigm from the simple thought process I knew to more entrepreneurial thinking. The training also involved improving empathy, interpersonal skills, and the ability to guide students. As a mentor to the students, I taught them to empathize with the community and the world around them before creating a product or service to aid society which was the ultimate goal
