I am currently an undergraduate student at the College of Saint Scholastica. I am a Psychology major with a peace and justice studies minor. What interests me about psychology is being able to understand human behavior and emotions more and help other work to become the best version of themselves they can be. In my free time, I am an officer of the Art Club on campus and I enjoy hanging out with my friends, being around animals, meeting new people, and trying new things.

I have always been very intrigued by the inner workings of our brains, and why humans act and behave the way they do. Specifically, I am very interested in social psychology and the theories it applies to human behavior. Research in social psychology has widened my view of the world and the people around me and has helped me understand myself and my own behaviors as well. For fun, I love to push myself in the weight room and lift things that are heavier than myself, as well as read through research articles and publications related to psychology to continue growing my knowledge!
