Majoring in Psychology, Minoring in Spanish
Georgia Institute of Technology, Class of 2024
From Savannah, GA

I am a third-year undergraduate psychology major and Spanish/LatinX Studies minor from Savannah, Georgia. I plan on going to graduate school to earn my PhD in Clinical or Counseling Psychology. I want to open a private practice and do psychological testing in both English and in Spanish in my professional career, and am always looking to connect with new faces and to gain more experience.
