I am a recent graduate of the University of Florida, where I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master's degrees in Educational Psychology, with a focus on Special Education. Throughout my academic journey, I have consistently demonstrated success by earning a place on the dean's list for three consecutive semesters. I am proud to have graduated with magna cum laude honors, which I believe is a reflection of my academic honor and excellence. 

During my time at the University of Florida, I had the privilege of working as a full-time 2nd and 3rd-grade teacher. This valuable experience allowed me to apply the conceptual knowledge gained in my master's program to real-world classroom settings. As an educator, I utilized my skills in behavior management, differentiated instruction, and curriculum development. This experience has fueled my desire to pursue advanced studies within human development, particularly in the research of Developmental Psychology.
