Hometown: Orange County, California
BA institution and degree: Seattle University, B.A. in Psychology
Research Interests: I am interested in researching how the impact of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities—and their intersection—affects the academic development of children and adolescents.
Career Goals: I want to become a Developmental Psychologist and Professor who empowers students from diverse and marginalized backgrounds and develops interventions to assess and enhance their educational experiences.
Why HDRP? I chose to enroll in the Human Development Research and Policy MA program to receive
scholarly, academia-focused training to further my career goals. This program will help me achieve my goals by introducing me to the foundations of human development, research methodology and statistical analysis, and professional development opportunities in the research field.
