Emani Dixon
Northeastern University | Psychology & American Sign Language
I am a dedicated student pursuing a double major in Psychology and American Sign Language at Northeastern University. Originally from Chicago, I am now based in Boston, immersing myself in research, experiential learning, and cross-cultural engagement.
My passion for language and communication has shaped my academic journey. I am proficient in English, American Sign Language and Arabic and currently studying Korean. This multilingual ability enhances my research interests in psychology, language, and identity, particularly in relation to marginalized communities.
I am deeply committed to equity and inclusion, with a strong focus on women's reproductive rights and access to specialized services. My academic work reflects this passion, driving my pursuit of interdisciplinary research and advocacy.
Beyond academics, I am an avid traveler, having visited six countries. A formative experience was studying abroad in Morocco during high school, which deepened my appreciation for global perspectives in psychology and social justice.
Northeastern has provided me with invaluable opportunities for mentorship and hands-on research. As I continue my academic journey, I am eager to further explore the intersections of psychology, language, and advocacy to drive meaningful change.
