I am a 3rd-year psychology major at UCLA with a deep passion for understanding human behavior, particularly through the lenses of social and developmental psychology. My academic journey has been shaped by a desire to explore how individuals grow, adapt, and interact over time and within various social environments.Outside of academics, my past work and volunteer experiences have taught me the importance of organization, patience, and, above all, compassion. I've worked in retail, which taught me valuable customer service skills, and I've been volunteering at a summer camp I grew up attending for four years now. My experiences there built up my leadership and teamwork skills and taught me the value of reliability, empathy, and community.
