With my degree, I will become a psychotherapist with my own practice where I help various clientele work through mental health issues. I will specifically focus on formerly incarcerated individuals who are now exiting the justice system and my goal is to help them transition into society in a way that is conducive. Currently, I am seeking work as a research associate in the field of psychology. I have extensive experience in this field as I have been a research assistant in the past. Therefore, I have experience with data collection, running participants, and writing reports. More details about my previous experience are written in my CV and Resume.
