Bachelor of Arts, Psychology, Neuroscience

As I approached graduation with my Master of Science in Forensic Psychology from Arizona State University, I realized that admission to competitive doctoral programs required additional foundational coursework in psychology and neuroscience. Although I already held multiple advanced degrees, I knew that earning a second bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in behavioral/cognitive neuroscience would provide the rigorous undergraduate training necessary for clinical doctoral-level study. I immersed myself fully in the program, embracing coursework in biological psychology, cognition, learning and memory, and advanced research methods to bridge any academic gaps and further solidify my scientific foundation.

Graduating first in my class with a 4.00 GPA, Summa Cum Laude with Distinction, this degree not only reflected my academic discipline and resilience but also my unwavering commitment to the field. It equipped me with essential knowledge and skills that complemented my graduate-level training, including a deeper understanding of brain-behavior relationships, experimental design, and the biological underpinnings of mental health disorders. This strategic academic endeavor positioned me for success in a top clinical psychology doctoral program and affirmed my long-term goal of becoming a clinical and forensic neuropsychologist with prescriptive authority.
