My Travel Story

I am a psychology student who has just received my psychology degree from Grant MacEwan University. I am looking to build my experience working with a variety of individuals in the field. I specifically wanted to be located in South America as I know that many countries need additional resources there and I have long been passionate about Hispanic culture. As much as I love the language, I also grew to care about the traditions and histories of the Latin countries I was privileged to learn about throughout my high school and university education. I recognize poverty, domestic violence, and lack of resources for those with disabilities are just some of the issues many face in many of these countries. One of the reasons I wanted to study psychology was to be able to improve the well-being of individuals with cultures similar to and different from my own. Any help so that I can help would be appreciated!
