Interests

I consider myself an international and multicultural individual...A World Class Citizen if you may. I enjoy experiencing different cultures and experiences. Traveling is the main way I get to immerse myself and enjoy different cultures. From a psychological perspective, I see people as unique treasure boxes. They each have a unique history, a unique treasure, a unique value, and a unique lock to be opened. As such, I like to explore the intersections of different factors (i.e. culture, language, gender, etc) . This has manifested itself through my academic endeavors, extracurriculars, experiences, and pursuits. I like to explore how gender, language, class, culture, and other factors affect one's health, especially mental health. I see my passion to unravel these previous factors as a key catalyst to cause global change.

Traveling is one of my passions. I am a curious individual, and exploring other cultures is a medium to do that. Coming from a different country enabled me to appreciate the differences between cultures and nations. Finding out what makes a culture special and unique is the ultimate satisfaction for my curiosity. As such, I travel to different cities, and different countries. One of my main travel experiences was studying abroad in France.

Experience

I have worked internationally, and nationally dealing with various fields and issues, such as Sexual Health, HIV prevention, Language teaching, and Therapy. Every place I travel I like to experience the labor force and their culture. These experiences have expanded my cultural repertoire, and enabled me to understand to apply multicultural and multidisciplinary approaches to my life and work.
