I am a third year School Psychology graduate student at Fairleigh Dickinson University. I look forward to becoming a part of the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. research team and learning more about the many ways we can assist neurodivergent youth in their schooling experiences, especially those who come from diverse backgrounds. I am excited to utilize the work being done at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. for my own practice to serve the communities I will work with once I enter the field of school psychology.

I am a first-year School Psychology graduate student who is eager to become a part of a research team. I was a part of a research team during my undergraduate career, and it was extremely impactful. I am interested in understanding societal and cultural outlooks on neurodivergent individuals, particularly in analyzing family dynamics. I believe the skills I will learn in S.U.C.C.E.S.S. will be tremendously beneficial to my practice in becoming a school psychologist. 

I am a Psychology and Creative Writing undergraduate at the Florham campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University. I am serving as a research assistant for the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. team. Through my work, I strive to advocate for the neurodivergent community and contribute to scientific knowledge. This role will be a fantastic step in my journey to become a clinical psychologist, as well as a writer contributing to neurodivergent representation and acceptance.

I am a junior at Bergen County Academies with a passion for languages, psychology, and the mental illness experiences of immigrant communities.  My ability to speak 5 languages and my background have helped me forge intimate relationships with those from diverse backgrounds, giving me a unique insight into how some in these communities perceive mental illness and how it influences the treatment that they seek and receive.  As a member of the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. lab, I hope to expand my knowledge of how autism impacts individuals across cultures, improve my research skills, and contribute to our team's success.
