Driven by a deep commitment to advocacy and a passion for understanding human behavior and mental health and currently pursuing dual bachelor's degrees in Communications Studies and Public Affairs. I plan to continue on to graduate school to research high-functioning adolescent psychopathology in high-pressure environments with affluent backgrounds. With a rich foundation in public affairs, communication, and psychology, I seek to empower these at-risk communities with research that identifies and addresses their unique mental health challenges shaped by affluence and socio-familial pressures.
