Bio

I am a high school senior from New Jersey aiming to become either a Neurosurgeon or a Clinical Psychologist. My biggest passion is working with the developmental disability community, which I’ve done through both in-person and online volunteering. These experiences showed me that while friendship is important, there is an urgent need for specialized medical and mental health support. I’m a great candidate because I’m already dedicated to this work and want to spend my career making sure neurodivergent youth are understood and supported. I plan to major in Psychology so I can turn the empathy I’ve learned from my friends into a professional career where I can provide the high-quality care they deserve.
