I come to the study of psychology with a fresh take on what it will mean to serve, heal, and educate in the modern era. As a multidisciplinary, systems-oriented designer, I have a unique approach to solving complex problems and understanding the world around us. I rely on a design thinking methodology, which exists at the intersection of the creative mind and the strategic, analytical synthesis of that creativity. 
​
Having taken a non-linear track through my undergraduate studies, I pull from experiences that span almost every academic discipline. I've studied everything from design, business, psychology, forensic science, creative writing, statistics, and music, and I've become "rounded and grounded" in thinking inside a variety of perspectives. My quantitative and arts-heavy education has shaped me into a highly analytical, strategic clinician with a knack for transforming big ideas into workable realities. 
​
I believe that we are all works in progress and that it's essential to continue learning, maturing, and strengthening ourselves each and every day. I'm constantly innovating, growing, and self-editing as I make progress towards my professional goals. I plan someday to practice clinical psychology at the doctoral level and lead research that innovates current approaches to the diagnosis and classification of mental health conditions. I plan to build inclusive and accessible curricula for higher education programs, based on established standards for diverse communities of adult learners. I plan to harness my unique mix of skills, knowledge, and experience to foster a movement towards greater inclusion and accessibility in the behavioral health field.
