Queens, New York, United States
I’m a psychology student in my final year, with an academic and practical background that blends human behavior, data, and technology. I started out studying computer science, which gave me a strong sense of structure and pattern-based thinking. Over time, I found myself more interested in behavior — especially what can be learned through observation rather than words. That interest has been pulling me toward animal behavior, where environment, routine, and nonverbal communication say a lot. Having a nonverbal autistic sibling has given me early, real-life exposure to behavior and care outside of traditional communication, which continues to shape how I think about observation and support. My work in mental health, disability support, and advocacy has shaped how I approach care in everyday settings. I’m currently exploring opportunities related to animal behavior, behavioral health, advocacy, and research support.
