I just graduated from the University of Virginia, majoring in psychology and cognitive science. I am the program director of the crisis HelpLine where I manage the new volunteers and take calls. In addition, I work as a group therapist for struggling first years in college. Along with these activities, I volunteer as a dental assistant at a free clinic and am on a dance team.
