Why did you choose to pursue an internship in the mental health field?
My interest in psychology began in high school, where a psychology class sparked my passion for mental health. But after two years as a summer camp counselor, I discovered my passion for child psychology and the importance of creating positive childhood experiences. I aspire to support children's mental health, make a meaningful difference in their lives, and help every child build a happy and fulfilling future.
What is a fun fact about you?
I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, meaning I speak two languages fluently: English and Portuguese
