Academic Interests

Since arriving at Texas Christian University in fall 2001 to pursue a B.S. in Psychology, I have become interested in the field of Organizational Psychology. After graduation in spring 2004, I intend on entering the workforce to pursue a career in Human Resource management. It is my hope that the skills obtained from working in an (HR) environment will allow me to acquire the necessary qualifications to enter an academic program leading to an M.B.A. or a master's degree in industrial/organizational Psychology.

As President of Psi Chi at Texas Christian University for the 2003-04 academic year, I have high expectations as I intend to lead our chapter to sucess at the highest attainable level. To achieve a high level of success I believe that it not only takes good leadership skills by the officers and chairpersons but most importantly success requires an atmosphere filled with respect and open communication. It is the focus of the new administration to promote active participation by all members and to provide a support system designed to allow individuals interested in joining our chapter an opportunity to gain an understanding of the value that a lifetime membership in Psi Chi will bring for them in the future.
