My name is Ruby McCabe, I am a third year psychology student at San Diego State University but am currently studying abroad at the University of Bristol. I am passionate about psychology and the field, and value compassion and thoughtfulness in my personal and professional life. Through my education I have gained expertise in academic research, critical thinking, and psychological analysis. I have maintained high academic standards, earning the Dean’s List award (above a 3.5 GPA) each semester in attendance at San Diego State University and am coordinating a mindfulness initiative on campus through my involvement with Delta Beta Tau, a buddhist student organization.
