About Me
My journey toward becoming a psychologist began with a deep love for reading, a hobby that has always fueled my imagination and curiosity. Immersing myself in the “Percy Jackson” series, I found myself particularly intrigued by the portrayal of characters with ADHD and dyslexia. This depiction not only captured my attention but also ignited a profound interest in understanding how these neurodevelopmental conditions influence cognitive functions and behaviors. This curiosity set me on a path toward clinical psychology, with a special focus on neurodevelopmental disorders.
Currently, I am pursuing my Intermediate education at GD Goenka Public School, where my major subjects include Psychology, Computer Science, Political Science, Sociology, and English. I completed my Matriculate CBSE in 2022 with a score of 75% and am eagerly awaiting my Intermediate CBSE 2024 results. My academic journey has been driven by a passion for learning and a commitment to understanding the complexities of the human mind.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I am dedicated to exploring the unique cognitive functions of individuals with conditions like ADHD and dyslexia. My goal is to use my education and research to contribute to the broader understanding of these disorders and to develop effective strategies and interventions that can enhance the quality of life for those affected.
Outside the classroom, I find joy in reading, drumming, and writing—activities that not only provide a creative outlet but also enrich my perspective and deepen my passion for psychology. Through continuous learning and active engagement, I strive to make a positive impact on my community and contribute meaningfully to the field of clinical psychology.
As I continue my educational journey, I remain committed to understanding the intricacies of the human mind and using that knowledge to help others, ultimately making a significant contribution to the field of psychology.
