To begin, I would like to briefly introduce myself and share a little about my interests, skills, and hobbies. My name is Mason Wang. I am a Studio Art major at Dominican University of California and a person with learning differences. I attended two high schools: Maplebrook School, located in Amenia, New York, and Stanbridge Academy, located in San Mateo, California.
I began my academic journey at Maplebrook School in Amenia, New York, where I completed part of my high school education. I then attended Stanbridge Academy in San Mateo, California, where I continued my high school studies and graduated. Currently, I am pursuing my college education at Dominican University as a Studio Art major.
Below are photographs of me during my time in high schools and at Dominican.
This include:
Long-term Memory Deficiency (long-term memory difficulties)
Speech & Language Challenges
Thought Processing Difficulties

Some of my hobbies and interests include photography (I have a photography collection portfolio titled “Worldwide Photography Collection Gallery”), reading, writing (travel, personal, or fictional stories), music, sports and exercise, as well as researching a wide range of topics; such as various topics in science, visual arts, history, music, psychology, and more. I also enjoy hands-on creative work in visual-studio arts. Additionally, some of my photography work can be found on Google Images and Google Search by searching “Mason Wang Photography.”
I am a person who is passionate and excited about understanding human behavior (psychology) and making a meaningful impact on people’s lives; whether that involves helping people navigate conflicts or situations with others, family relationships, or any challenges they may need support with. Throughout my experiences in helping the community during their worst time of their lives (like emergency services professionals or doctors/psychologists), I have gained valuable insight and skills.
I’ve developed strong skills in:
De-escalation and Conflict Resolution
Problem-Solving and Quick Decision-Making
Active Listening and Effective Communication
Time Management and Organization (Photography, Videography, and more...)
Empathy and Calm Presence Under Pressure
Respect, Fairness, Honesty, and Caring for Others
Handling Crowded or Stressful Environments
Providing Options, Reassurance, Validation & Self-Awareness
Self-Advocacy, Setting Boundaries, & Requesting Backup when needed
