After graduating from high school, I planned to pursue a degree in psychology. I was influenced by various YouTube creators and psychologists.

BSc. Clinical Psychology

Learning about coordination and sensory perception during my school years, mapping out elemental knowledge about the brain, exploring the inner workings of personality - such experiences sparked my interest in this subject and it's immense beauty. Be it biomedicine, arts and culture, business or more, human psychology is the common factor that governs all. After research into neurodiversity and cognitive neuroscience, I was captured by the allure of building an interdisciplinary career centered in psychology. PCU's Clinical Psychology program offered the perfect conduit for me to further my knowledge.
