How did you decide on your major?

I have always been fascinated by the sociology and psychology behind why people commit crimes. I originally wanted to be a defense attorney that defended the rights of individuals in the court of law, but decided I was more interested in helping individuals heal from things that may be caused by victimization.

My EPPS Success

The key to my success in EPPS is keeping an updated agenda, participating in class, and being genuinely interested in your area of study.

Plans for the Future

I plan on starting a graduate program at the Mediterranean College in Athens, Greece for a Master’s degree in forensic psychology.

Advice to Prospective EPPS Students

My advice to prospective students is to ask a lot of questions and avoid procrastinating. Work on large projects a little at a time and plan your days out beforehand.
