After completing my first semester of research in the Fall of 2020, I grew interested in neuroscience, more specifically neurodiversity. With little-to-no experience in the subject area, I decided to take on Biopsychology in the Spring 2021 semester. As predicted, I have fallen in love with the field of neuroscience. With a deeper understanding of the field, I want to expand my understanding and interests into research. As soon as I finish my undergraduate degree at Bridgewater State University in December of 2021, I anticipate on pursuing a graduate degree in Neuroscience.
