Summary
With a background in literature, international relations, and years of experience supporting high-level teams and projects in the different industries, I’ve spent my personal and professional life navigating complexity, communication, and human behavior — always drawn to the psychological layers behind people, decisions, and systems.
Studying psychology isn’t a career pivot; it’s the academic path I’ve always wanted to take. I bring not only a deep curiosity about the mind, but also the resilience and focus that come from working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. I’m excited to contribute meaningfully to the academic community and pursue this journey with purpose.
