I am a 4th year undergraduate student at UCLA double majoring in Neuroscience and Psychology. I plan to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology, with particular interests in addiction, psychopathology, and the underlying neural networks of substance abuse. I currently work as a research assistant at the Anxiety and Depression Research Center (ADRC), where I support studies investigating treatment interventions for mood and anxiety disorders. I also volunteer at UCLA's Neuroimaging and Addiction Treatment Laboratory (NATL). In addition to research, I serve as the Clinical Coordinator for GroupTherapy LA, where I act as a liaison between clients and therapists. Most recently, I've been given the opportunity to work with PEERS (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) at UCLA as a social coach for individuals with neurodivergence. Through these roles, I've developed a strong foundation in both research and clinical practice and have grown my passion for mental health advocacy. I am eager to build on this knowledge as I work toward becoming a clinician and researcher in the field of Psychology.
