As an Honors College student, I have had the opportunity to deepen my academic knowledge through a series of rigorous honors contracts, where I explored advanced topics in psychology and related fields. Alongside my coursework, I’ve also gained hands-on experience in multiple research labs, contributing to projects that address critical issues like substance use, pain management, and mental health. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have developed key leadership and mentorship skills through my roles as an Academic Success Coach and Student Coordinator at the Bepko Learning Center, and H200 Mentor. As an Academic Success Coach, I worked one-on-one with students, helping them develop personalized strategies to improve their academic performance. In my role as Student Coordinator, I led the planning and execution of workshops, facilitated training sessions, and provided support to my peers. As an H200 Mentor, I guided first-year honors students, helping them transition into college life and offering resources for their academic and personal growth. These experiences have shaped my growth as a scholar and my future goals in mental health counseling, strengthening my commitment to supporting others in their academic and personal journeys.
