Research in the discipline of psychology is fundamental. The brilliant scholars who have dedicated their careers to exploring psychology have made incredible advancements, which is breathtaking and empowering. Modern civilization has been significantly reliant on psychology's unstoppable advancement, which would not have happened without the continued scientific developments we witness and count on to improve the betterment of clients, society, and the world and, in hopes of ultimately, a doctorate in psychology to add to the literature and research within this miraculous field to better assist and understand the human brain, in hopes to find cures, and onsets indications to assist people in need more promising. I am notably interested in the following areas: • Cognitive abilities among depression, anxiety, and psychiatric concerns between emerging and established adults and children. • Children, emerging and established adults suffering from various learning disabilities, such as dyslexia and types of ADHD. • Trajectories, onsets, genotype, genotype testing, first-stage onsets, generational trauma, and how that relates to pre-exposure to mental illnesses, along with where genotypes are and end cognitively. • Individuals seeking treatments in Dialectical Behavioral Therapies and other forms of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies concerning mindfulness-based interventions and Serious Mental Illness. • Personality in stress response and routine outcome monitoring • Family involvement and therapies. • Psychopathology is linked to the emotional and judgmental treatment of psychological disorders. • Professional and relational therapeutic development about therapeutic development of skills. • Psychiatric concerns between emerging adults in LGBTQ+ groups. • Gender diversity and personality. • Incorporating intervention studies relevant to group treatments and individual intervention sessions. These research areas are fundamental to society's growth and prosperity. After my grandmother's sudden passing in 2008, I began weekly therapy sessions with a clinical psychotherapist. After our first short hour session, I remember Dr. Goodman asking me if I had any questions for him. I sat in anticipation, unsure what to say. All I could utter was, "Do you enjoy what you do?" I vividly remember him chucking and swiftly saying, "Why does everyone ask me this?" I sat and thought, "Maybe because we don't know what to expect and ask in this sudden moment." He continued, "I love what I do; I couldn't ask for a better job!" I, a 13-year-old adolescent, feeling lost, unseen, and stuck in my current situation, thought at that very moment that I knew precisely what I wished to pursue and dedicate my life to a career in psychology. I have remained committed to the research and this field of work, notwithstanding all these circumstances, and why I have gotten involved in undergraduate research on the development of differing treatments concerning depression and anxiety with the incredible team at CUBIT. CUBIT was different for me. It was an idea I had when I was younger, probably around 16, looking into psychiatry. CUBIT was looking into different treatments for depression outside of oral medication, which has been something I have wondered about and want to research in my career. Being able to experience CUBIT in its entirety and better understand the human brain, more on a cognitive level, was an experience I only dreamed of at one point. Being with this lab pushed me to value the more smallish joys in vitality, like having your morning coffee in your favorite mug and how the little somethings in life are sometimes the soundest. I realized that life, in all forms, was not a race to an imagined finish line. There is no rival, opponent, no challenger, nor foe. Pinning oneself against oneself will get one no other terminus besides a hopeless bowed spiral. Hearing of how my grandfather recreated his life in America after fleeing Nazi Germany in the 1940s when he was only seven years old or noticing the post-traumatic stress induced by the loss of my grandfather's mother, father, and sister as a result of the catastrophic events that transpired in 1940s Germany, to myself being involved with an abusive partner throughout high school, having been the target of bigotry concerning the Jewish community, suffered from major depressive disorder, witnessed my father leave when I was 20, as well as having my childhood home foreclosed upon; looking homelessness in the mug. After witnessing how these cataclysms developed and affected my family's emotional well-being and my psychological health, I acknowledged that the time would never be right or ideal. However, in some sea of hope and hopelessness coexisting in contorted harmony, if there was a perfect or proper moment, it was in this instant of my life for me to continue with my higher education to foster the journey of extending my life to aiding those bearing unfortunate life events in all forms. Whether I was able to link or if I had to place myself outside of my own experiences to extend past myself, it was time. The feelings of wanting, virtually needing to give back to any and every community, any and every individual that I would extend myself to, I owed it to them, I owed it to myself. Brooding from being 13 and feeling lost to being 17 and feeling betrayed, to being 22 and feeling despair, to being 25 and feeling as though I was drifting out to sea with no destination, no shoreline in the company, and knowing others feel as I did, understanding that I can, that I will make a difference in one person's life, or 10 peoples lives, I owed it to them, and myself. My most poignant reminder of why I am so fiercely devoted to reaching my ambitions of becoming a psychologist based on scientific research stood these transitional phases of my vitality, as frightening and dismal as they were. I remember the lonely, restless nights when I felt like the world was against me. Every day, I hoped to find an educated mental health professional who could aid me in considering things differently, help me feel noticed, and reassure me that a circumstance only has authority over you if you permit it. The duration of my undergraduate career outstretched me to newness. New someone, places, things, and notions. It opened me to fresh paths of being and thinking. I learned that not only do I have the prospect of becoming a clinical psychologist, but I even have the possibility to become an incredibly devoted and fueled researcher. I have questions of my own, to which I am relentless in finding the answers. I touched a wonder in myself, the passion to guide, teach, and educate minds, much like my own at one point in time. To become a Principal Investigator, being capable of aiding others in their pursuits of being a Ph.D. student and onwards. Regardless, I am not in my Ph.D. I know; I am cognizant that is my next destination, something I have been searing to do since I was little. Nearly 15 years back and 15 years thereafter, I am still powerfully devoted and committed and will cease at nothing to be able to help, give back, enlighten, and revitalize hope. I owe it to my 13, 17, 22, and 25-year-old self. I owe it to humanity; I owe it to the moon, the stars, and the heavenly body. Had I not been able to see further myself and my individual experiences, if I did not carry a bottomless yearning to apprehend the human connection and the helping hand, I would not be where I am today, where I will be tomorrow. For these reasons, I strive continuously and will stop at nothing to get a master's degree in psychology and continue my education. This will allow me to fulfill my long-term goal of earning a Ph.D. in psychology. I have and will continue to work tirelessly to be the basis of encouragement and support I was never given as a young adult, as I am familiar that I am not the only one to experience such tribulations. Robust examples include making the Dean's List in 2021, being seated on the Honor Roll, Pi Alpha Sigma for the class of 2021 at Suffolk County Community College, and being placed on Stony Brook University's higher achieving scholars within all undergraduate programs. Early graduation from Stony Brook University for my undergraduate degree allowed me the possibility to seek internships and other volunteer research prospects to deepen my knowledge and knowledge of psychology in multiple disciplines ranging from cognition, health, social, clinical, and neuropsychology. Moreover, these scientific disciplines are imperative for advancing psychology's future and global adaption. I am dedicated to assuring that my methods and investigations are science-based to supply complete, accurate practice in research, education, and, if I so choose, clinical for treating clients undergoing mental, emotional, and neurological dysfunction. Psychology would only play a notable role in contemporary culture with the endless scientific refinement we honor and rely on.
