I have found research to be a rewarding experience, allowing me to discover that clinical neuropsychology exposes me to different scientific and clinical perspectives while providing intrigue and challenges. As a future graduate student, my goal is to contribute to scientific discoveries that unlock the mysteries of the human brain using rigorous experimental methods and cutting-edge research and imaging techniques. As humanity has studied the intricacies of the ocean and the vast expanses of space, we are honored because we know less about the frontier that exists within us than the frontier that exists beyond us. My interest in neuropsychology began when my uncle was diagnosed with I am rapidly developing... middle of article......After completing the program, I envision myself working as a neuropsychologist in a medical center university. I intend to advance the field of neuropsychology by conducting compelling neuroimaging and behavioral research while inspiring the next generation of researchers through mentoring, teaching, and supervision. During my undergraduate career, I conducted research that resulted in submission to a professional journal and maintaining full-time student status. , earned exceptional grades, found time to serve as Psi Chi chapter president, and worked full-time as a graphic designer and real estate agent. These accomplishments reflect motivation, a strong work ethic, attention to detail and a deep commitment to quality performance. Based on my research interests and strong record of excellence, I am confident that I will be a productive student in your program..
