I’m from the Chicago suburbs, and I'm a psychology major. During my gap year after I graduated from high school, I worked as a full-time paraprofessional in an elementary school as well as a home-based treat maker.
A few occupations that interest me include child psychologist, family therapist, nutrition therapist, occupational therapist, and speech-language pathologist. In my free time, I like to travel, go to the beach, and go to the gym.
I am currently pursuing my bachelor's in Psychology. I ultimately want to pursue a Ph.D. in Psychology and enter the realm of mental health counseling.
I enjoy spending time with friends, going to the gym, and working with computer hardware in my free time.
I'm from the Bahamas. I major in biology and minor in pre-health. I aspire to be a pediatrician due to my love for caring for children and adolescents. In the future, I also wish to open my own private practice. In addition to providing medical care to my community, I intend to use the knowledge I gain about emerging adults' sexuality to give reliable sex education and sexual health information to the adolescents and emerging adults I provide care to.
In my free time, I enjoy reading books, watching Netflix, spending time with my family, and listening to music. I also love dogs, traveling, trying new foods, and boat rides with my family
I am a South Florida native, and I major in communication and speech disorders. I have a strong interest in rehabilitative work, cochlear implants, and swallowing disorders. The dream is to one day work in a hospital where I can make a difference in the quality of life of others. I have always been fascinated by psychology in general, and reproductive health is a niche interest of mine that I have not had the opportunity to explore through my major.
Outside of the communication sciences or psychology, I love to read and write, and I'm also a huge fan of Disney movies! The idea of a perfect weekend for me is going to get a mani pedi, and heading to Barnes & Noble.
I am from Puerto Rico. I major in Psychology with a minor in Experiential Leadership. My career goals are to pursue a masters in developmental psychology and later on complete a PhD. I am especially interested in the cultural connection between family and couples dynamics and sexuality.
In my free time I like to relax and watch some movies, go to the beach, and hang out with my partner and friends.
I'm from here, Davie Florida! I major in neuroscience and psychology and minor in pre-health and honors transdisciplinary studies. I love learning about behavior and the brain, so I am studying to someday go to medical school to practice psychiatry and neurology. I hope to use this opportunity in the lab to learn more about the topic of sexual health to hopefully teach others without access to sex education.
Outside of academics, I love doing crafts like crocheting and cross stitching, going shopping, and being with friends and family.
I am from right outside of Baltimore, Maryland. I major in psychology with a minor in pre-health. I have a strong passion for psychology, especially developmental and child/adolescent psychology. After earning my bachelor’s degree, I hope to go to medical school to become a psychiatrist. I really appreciate this lab and research opportunity, and I think Dr. Shigeto’s research about sexuality is really important and intertwines with my future career goals as a psychiatrist.
Outside of academics, I love hanging out with friends and family, going to the beach, and listening to music. I also am a huge animal person, and I enjoy taking shelter dogs out and about in my free time.
I am a psychology student from Brazil. I moved to the U.S. in 2022, and since then I developed an interest in psychology from an intersectional standpoint. In the near future, I hope to pursue a Multicultural Psychology PsyD program at NSU. I also hope to work in the field of mental health either as a therapist with my private practice or as the director of a non- profit mental health program.
Outside of school, I enjoy listening to music from the 70s and 80s, reading tarot cards, and riding my bike. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends!
Hello, I'm from New Jersey, and I major in both Psychology and Education. I'd like to become a clinical psychologist and work as a therapist with disenfranchised adolescents and young adults.
In my free time, I like to read, learn about new things (history, science, art, etc.), workout, listen to music, and spend time with friends.
