Engaging with the study of the mind and its effect on human behaviour fascinates me. Why do we behave the way we do and how does our social surrounding affect us?

My vision is to work with children to understand their behaviour as well as improve it using the skills I aim to learn during my undergraduate course of psychology.

My interest in the human brain really began my junior year of high school when I took AP Psychology. I could not get enough of learning about how and why we function on a day to day basis, which can be looked at from multiple perspectives including from a biological angle. It amazed me then, and still amazes me today, that a complex network of neurons which fire electrochemical signals is the basis of every action we do on a day to day basis. This idea sparked my passion for learning more about the nervous system and how it functions, and is an interest which remains with me to this day. This same year of high school I also fell in love with Chemistry and Anatomy/Physiology, both of which applied in some capacity to AP Psychology as well. Ultimately

Personal Statement I have been fascinated with how the mind works from a very early age. For instance, in elementary school I would try to guess how someone would respond differently to a given scenario depending on irrelevant details, like the color of someone’s sweater.

During my senior year of high school, I decided to self-study AP Psychology because my school did not offer the course.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Oregon with majors in psychology and sociology with a minor in business. While sitting in my child development class learning how a child’s brain is shaped and molded throughout its life, I had an epiphany.
