I am a BYU Psychology graduate, currently working towards an MS Degree in Instructional Psychology and Technolgy (IP&T). My interest in the profession and my academic journey began when I had the opportunity to work with underserved populations in Cincinnati. I was afforded many chances to see what factors contributed to an individual's overall well-being and concluded that many are outside of our direct control. These experiences inspired me to pursue an education and place myself in a position to bring about positive lasting change in individuals. I was drawn to Instructional Design because I want to take part in improving our education systems to create a lasting positive change for upcoming generations.
