I am a California State University Chico graduate with a degree in psychology, a minor in sociology, and a passion for using my knowledge to help those in need. I have over five years’ experience working with children on the autism spectrum and have eight months’ experience working in a crisis shelter for the victims of intimate partner violence. Additionally, I have experience working for a political campaign and for a grassroots canvassing organization. I hope to one day have a career working closely with children struggling with mental disorders while pursuing research in neuropsychology.
