FinalistBio
I am a trauma-informed, research-driven, and patient-centered healthcare professional who is passionate about the intersections that underlie in women's healthcare. After pursuing an unconventional educational route, being a Commonwealth of Massachusetts General Educational Development (GED) recipient in 2021, I started my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology at Utah State University Fall 2022 as a nontraditional student. Moving across the country alone and attending collegiate level courses with limited academic training unfurled my passion for learning. Graduated with Cum Laude Latin Honors Spring 2026, complemented with minors in Mental Health Advocacy & Awareness, Sexuality Studies, and Yoga Studies. I had the pleasure of 4+ years in clinical training in an eating disorder treatment center. I also held leadership roles at USU in research labs, as an Undergraduate Teaching Fellow, and Project Assistantship for rural public health. I contributed towards presentations, publications, grant-proposals, and grant-funded projects. Current research interests align with women's healthcare, specifically the treatment and diagnosis of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). I am excited to continue my academic and clinical profession journey in my home state, at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) in their Accelerated Diagnostic Medical Sonography program on the Boston campus! I am dedicated to cultivating a safe, inclusive, and patient-focused environment.
