​
A child of the late 80s, I was born into a multicultural family. Due to this, from the outset of my life, I was granted the privilege of travel and language exposure. Growing up between the United States and Europe, over the years, I met many people wishing to share their many stories.
Although the stories I heard, and the people that told them, were vastly different, I found that the purpose was two-fold and universal. In communicating life episodes with another, we yearn to find an understanding listener, but also to gain understanding as a listener.
​
Having made this observation early on, by the age of twelve, I had become captivated by the mysteries of the human psyche and its development throughout life. I wanted to explore what unseen forces shaped our characters, what teachings informed our attitudes, and what hopes, fears, desires, and needs fueled our collective existence.
​
Once in high school, I began to discover, and later seek out, beneficial combinations between what others may have seen as unrelated. My university studies followed a similar course as a joint attraction to social science and pedagogical philosophies emerged, eventually leading me to the fields of Psychology and Education. Since, my fascination has only intensified with the completion of each educational level and career choice made to date.
