What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my psychology and law knowledge, ideally in a supportive and collaborative environment focused on mental health and justice.

I am a dedicated Psychology major with a minor in Law and Society, currently pursuing my undergraduate studies at the University of California, San Diego. My hands-on experience in community service, particularly through the Violence Intervention Program, has equipped me with a profound understanding of the emotional and psychological needs of foster children affected by trauma. I am committed to leveraging my knowledge to promote fair societal outcomes and enhance mental health support within forensic settings.

In my role as a Passport Agent at UCSD, I have honed my organizational and interpersonal skills, ensuring the accurate processing of passport applications while maintaining compliance with Department of State protocols. My internship with The Lex Pre-Law Fellowship allowed me to engage with legal professionals and gain insights into various practice areas, further solidifying my aspiration to become a Criminal Psychologist. I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to a role that aligns with my passion for justice and mental health.
