As a recent Psychology graduate from UC Santa Cruz, I am deeply passionate about understanding and addressing mental health challenges particularly in individuals experiencing severe mental illness. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience during my internship at an outpatient residential facility, where I worked with clients facing severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, anxiety, and OCD. This experience has solidified my commitment to a career in clinical psychology and research.Currently, I am seeking opportunities as a research assistant to gain further experience in a lab setting, develop my research skills, and build a strong foundation for my future pursuit of a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I am eager to collaborate with like-minded professionals and contribute to research that can make a meaningful impact on mental health care.If you are looking for a dedicated, motivated, and passionate individual to join your team, I would love to connect and explore how I can contribute to your projects.
