- Where did you obtain your bachelor’s, and what were your major(s)? I got my bachelor’s at Ball State! I majored in Psychology and had two minors in Applied Behavior Analysis and Counseling.
- What first interested you in psychology? I first started to become interested in psychology from a class I took in high school, it was just the basics of psychology, but it kept me interested and I knew this was something I wanted to continue learning about, passed the basics.
- Why did you choose Ball State? I really enjoyed it here for my undergrad, so when I found that the counseling program here for graduate school was what I was looking for, I knew staying at Ball State would be what I wanted to do. Being here is close to my family so I also feel comfortable here as well.
- What do you think of your experience at Ball State as an MA student so far? So far, I am very happy with my experience. I knew it would be challenging, but the support I have from my classmates, teachers, and TA’s is very helpful and makes this new experience a much easier The encouragement that we receive is great as well, reminding us that we have much more time to grow and it’s okay to make mistakes.
- What are your future career goals? For the future after getting my MA, I would like to do doctorate school here at Ball State as well. This has always been a long-term goal for me, so I would like to see if I can follow through with it! For my career goals, I have always wanted to help people, whether that be with teaching, coaching, etc, but when I found my love for psychology, I knew that being a therapist/counselor is what I really want to do. I would like to work with adolescents, but as I go through my MA, it will be interesting to see if this changes!
- What are a few of your favorite hobbies? I enjoy watching true crime documentaries and I like to watch professional and college
- What food could you not live without? I love potatoes in any form; French fries, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, baked potatoes, definitely couldn’t get rid of those potatoes.
- What is your favorite TV show currently? Currently, I have been watching Dexter, which is not new because I started from the beginning, but it is my favorite show at the moment!
- What is something about you that people would be surprised to know? I think that some people would be surprised to know that I have played volleyball competitively since I was 7 years old! I played volleyball at a club named Munciana, and I dedicated a lot of time there! I was able to travel to many amazing places around the United States, and I got to go to Canada as well!
- If you could have dinner with any historic figure, who would it be and why? If I could have dinner with any historic figure, I think I would choose to speak with Martin Luther King Jr. He is a person that I look up to a lot for all he did for the Civil Rights movement, but it would also be interesting to hear his experiences of what he endured and experienced during these times.
