New City, New York, United States
I am a second-year graduate student through Binghamton University's Master of Public Health program at their Decker School of Nursing and Health Sciences after receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Binghamton University. Currently, most of my professional experience involve working with others (especially children), and I have experience within the clinical aspect of psychology. I hope to use this interdisciplinary psychology and public health perspective to shape the current mental health systems to be more accessible for all individuals, especially those who are neurodivergent. In addition to my current professional experience, I am heavily involved in women’s awareness/support programs and mental health advocacy, especially for neurodivergent individuals. Feel free to contact me at [email protected]!
