As a psychology and sociology major, a big focus of my studies has been on mental wellbeing. However, I found that outside of the major, mental health tends to be a forgotten and suppressed topic. Through The Humanology Project, my hope is to help make the topic of mental health as open as the subject of physical health. Growing up, I watched a close relative struggle with addiction, which put a big strain on my family, and along with it, a sense of shame. Watching the stigma of mental illness continue through high school and into college with students struggling from conditions like depression has made me passionate about working with mental health. I tend to be happiest while listening to music, being active outdoors, and playing with my golden retriever puppy.
