About

I am a motivated Flagler College alum, who recently obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology with a minor in biology. Beyond my undergraduate studies, I will pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology. My research interests focus on the factors contributing to the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease and how they affect underrepresented populations. Upon obtaining a PhD in Clinical Psychology, I intend to work as a clinical neuropsychologist, professor, and researcher. Ultimately, I plan to balance a career in professorship, conducting applied research, and offering neuropsychological evaluations and therapies to diverse populations.
