Bio

Hello! I'm Karol Martin Perez, but I prefer to go by Janele. As a first-generation Mexican-American, I am deeply passionate about mental health and committed to making therapy more accessible and effective for diverse communities. My interest in psychology is driven by both personal experiences and a strong desire to help others navigate life’s challenges. Beyond my studies, I believe that understanding the deeper roots of our behaviors can enhance therapeutic approaches and create more meaningful connections with clients. However, pursuing higher education comes with financial challenges, and securing scholarships will help me focus on my studies and professional development. I am a dedicated student with a strong work ethic, and I believe my commitment to mental health advocacy, academic excellence, and resilience make me a strong candidate for scholarship support. I am excited to be part of the Bold.org community and grateful for any opportunities that help me achieve my goal of becoming a psychologist. Thank you for your consideration!
