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 in my second year of the School Psychology MA + Cert program at Fairleigh Dickinson University. As a member of the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Research Team, I will be serving as a coach for the Smooth Sailing program. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with teachers, staff, and the entire S.U.C.C.E.S.S. team to learn more about the field of autism research, which I am confident will strengthen my skills as I prepare for my career as a school psychologist.

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 Forensic Psychology undergraduate student at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Currently, I am serving as a researcher assistant for the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. research team.

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.
