What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in psychology and community service, while contributing positively to a team.

I am a motivated university student majoring in psychology with a strong passion for learning and gaining experience. My journey has been enriched by various roles, including my recent position as an Office Assistant at Sapphire Rising Therapeutic PLLC, where I honed my organizational and communication skills while supporting the office staff.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have engaged in community volunteering, creating comfort bags for cancer patients and organizing events to raise awareness. My experience as an Outdoor Program Intern with the City of Chicago allowed me to explore my interest in environmental science while conducting research on native plant species. I thrive in team environments and am committed to ensuring high performance and positive relationships in any setting.
