FinalistBio
My goal to become a Developmental Psychologist is inspired by my love for children and my fascination with the human mind. I have 7 years of experience in child care, from dedicated nannying to volunteering in elementary school classrooms. I also love expressing myself through music and art, and I am the illustrator for a children's book.
