"I chose to attend Immaculata University because of the close-knit community, small class sizes and strong Catholic identity. When it was time to select a major, I always knew I wanted to study psychology because of my interest in learning more about human behavior and therapeutic practices for improving mental health. The unconditional support from the psychology department and fascinating course content were essential in the development of my critical thinking skills. Without the Immaculata psychology department, I would not have recognized my potential, challenging myself to partake in several research opportunities. I could not have done it without the psychology department, and to them, I am so grateful for every opportunity they have given me and for believing in me."
