What inspired you to pursue a healthcare career?
I’ve always been passionate about working with children and adolescents. I want young people to know they are not alone, and that it’s okay to talk openly about their struggles without fear of judgment. Creating a safe, supportive space for them is at the heart of why I chose to pursue a career in clinical psychology.
How did your background and history factor into your career choice?
As the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, I often reflect on the emotional burdens my grandparents carried without access to mental health support. That legacy has deeply influenced my commitment to the field. If I can make a difference in even one person’s life by being someone they can trust and confide in, I consider that incredibly meaningful work.
Why did you decide to attend Midwestern University?
Midwestern University’s Clinical Psychology Program stood out to me because of its exceptional 100 percent internship match rate. This achievement reflects the program’s strength and the level of support it provides to students. I was also drawn to its specialized emphasis in child and adolescent training, which aligns directly with my professional goals.
What about a Midwestern University education do you want to carry forward in your career?
The University’s emphasis on interdisciplinary care is something I plan to carry forward in my clinical work. Collaboration among healthcare professionals is crucial for comprehensive, patient-centered care, particularly when working with children, adolescents, and their families. This value has been consistently modeled throughout my training at Midwestern.
Anything else you’d like to add?
I’m deeply grateful to Midwestern University for the opportunity to grow as both a clinician and a person. The education, mentorship, and hands-on experiences I’ve received have been invaluable to my development as a future psychologist.
