Hello all!!! I'm a senior at the University of South Florida St.Petersburg. I major in psychology. I'm very passionate about helping others, and reaching out to my community. I believe mental health issues go unnoticed and untreated most of the time. I feel it is my duty to help others in need, which is one of the reasons why i study psychology. I've come across an amazing opportunity to study in Sydney, Australia as a intern in psychology. The internship is hosted by a program by the name of "World Internships." My internship would start this Fall. I can easily find a internship in my hometown, but i feel an abroad experience has so many benefits. This abroad experience will look good on my resume, and boost my chances at getting into graduate school. I will be the first person in my immediate family to graduate from college this summer. I feel my experience abroad will show my family, so many black women, and young black girls that education can take you across the world!! Of course a global perspective on mental health helps form different tools we can use to support communities dealing with mental health issues. I'm very passionate about doing an internship in Sydney, Australia. With your help, i can start my journey on serving others in need.
