Summary
As a French student who grew up in Senegal, I chose to study psychology in both Paris and New York to broaden my academic and cultural horizons. Through clinical internships and volunteer work with children, people with disabilities, and community programs, I developed strong skills in empathy, adaptability, and active listening. Trilingual in French, English, and Spanish, I aim to pursue a career as a child psychologist with an international perspective.
