My fifth semester at Brown University has been amazing! The environment is academically demanding yet very supportive. The open curriculum has allowed me to explore topics within my psychology major and pursue my interest in law. This semester, I was enrolled in Debate of the Hippocampus, which allowed me to study that brain area extensively. In addition, I’ve continued participating in the Student Clinic for Immigrant Justice. In this program, I work with an attorney on an immigration case. This opportunity has allowed me to apply the skills I’ve learned in my psychology courses when discussing the painful experiences the asylees had endured in their home country. As the President of the Black Pre-Law Association, I had the privilege of attending the National Black Pre-Law Conference with our members. As the Women’s Pre-Law Association secretary, I’ve had the opportunity to meet with Brown alums and learn more about the law school admissions process. I will continue taking courses for my entrepreneurship minor this spring semester. These business courses have been a fun challenge. I will continue to intern for Connect For Health. In this role, I connect those in need to other nonprofits to provide them access to many necessities. I also started working on a research project with a professor from the Center for Health Promotion and Health Equity. The project aims to express how trauma can manifest in physical health concerns. I’ve expanded my research skills in this role by reading and choosing to include articles that contribute to the study’s argument. I look forward to expanding my interest in psychology and law next semester and creating more memorable experiences. These internships give me more insight into various career paths. Thank you for supporting my education and allowing me access to the various opportunities offered at Brown!
