Bio

The world is in a mental health crisis like never before, and I am dedicated to working in my community to help those in need. I am attending Indiana University in Indianapolis, Indiana, majoring in psychology with two minors in neuroscience and sociology, and participating in the IUI honors college. My long-term goal is to earn a PhD in clinical psychology. I am passionate about psychology and helping those with mental illness and addiction. This passion comes from watching so many people struggle to live fulfilled lives due to the current mental health crisis.
