As a recent graduate attaining a A.A. in Applied Psychology and Human Development at Boston Colleges, I am passionate advancing mental and behavioral health through service, community engagement, and advocacy. Through my leadership, internship, and personal experiences, I have developed a strong interest in health equity, youth development, and social justice. I strive to amplify the voices of young people and contribute to programs that empower communities. As I continue my professional and academic journey, I look forward to building a career dedicated to improving societal well-being, particularly in underserved communities and historically marginalized communities.
