About

I’m a student passionate about helping organizations succeed through their people and culture. Through roles in research, early childhood educational programs, and administrative support, I’ve honed skills in project coordination, communications, and problem-solving. I’m particularly interested in applying insights from psychology to better understand what motivates teams and shapes workplace culture. I aspire to use my experiences to foster meaningful work, engagement, and strong organizational environments.
