Curiosity led me to psychology, and listening keeps me here. As a recent psychology graduate I am at the beginning of a journey filled with questions, quiet observations, and a deep interest in how we think, feel, and heal. I am on a road to actively seeking exposure in clinical and counselling spaces to learn psychology where it truly lives, in conversations, silences, and lived experience. Writing is my parallel language, allowing me to reflect, articulate, and humanize psychological ideas. I aspire to grow into a future psychology professional who not only understands the mind, but gives it a voice.
