As a graduate of Portland State University, with a major in Psychology, applying my education to the real world through research or careers is of great importance. As someone who has many interests such as gymnastics, technology, business leadership, hiking, or clinical psychology, combining aspects of these into each situation I am in fuels my understanding in the connection of the individual and the environment.My knowledge of psychology has presented me with many helpful tools that I use in the workplace like productive leadership styles, the creation and implementation of training programs, and an emphasis in customer experience. Along with this, the ability to learn quickly allows me to excel in many situations. Cultivating positive relationships in my life is important to me and that involves going beyond surface level connections. Loyalty and support are things that I value not only in myself but also the people I surround myself with.
