What is something that you are most proud of?
Something that I am most proud of is starting, growing through, and completing my
undergraduate journey. At the beginning, I wasn't even sure if I would even go to
school. With the help of admissions counselors, I was accepted and started my
journey. During my 5 years at WOU, I had a lot of challenges and life events that
were completely unpredictable. I learned to use my resources, communicate my
needs, and reach out to mentors for help. The amount of growth as a student, leader,
and person was astronomical. I am proud of the person I have become and am
becoming. This little chapter in my life is complete, and now it is on to the next.
Future Plans & Goals
Honestly, I want to go back to school and pursue a Masters or PhD. in Positive
Psychology, Creative Studies, Gender studies, Sex and Relationships, and more. I am
interested in so much, but I'm having trouble with where to start. My plan is to work
for at least a year in a job related to the field of Psychology, gain some experience,
and then eventually go back to school. Ultimately I want to help people and promote
mental health, especially for people of color and LGBTQ+ folx.
