Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi!
I'm a junior at Johns Hopkins University studying Psychology and Public Health Studies. I've done lots of work in crisis stabilization at mental health centers and will soon be participating in research related to autism spectrum disorder. I'm generally really interested in children and adolescent mental health and hope to one day work as a clinical psychologist and promote policy aimed at bettering the mental health of students in school!
