Your Psychology Peer Advisors are Junior and Senior level Psychology majors just like you! Since they have taken or are currently taking a lot of psychology courses, they know whatcourses go well together. They are great at helping you plan what courses you need to meet your Psych degree requirements!
Hannah
Hi! I’m Hannah, a senior Psychology major on the clinical track. I am also working on a certificate in Behavioral Forensics. After I graduate, I plan to pursue an Ed.S. degree in School Psychology. In addition to being a peer advisor, I have been a UTA for Statistical Methods in Psychology and am currently a UTA for Research Methods in Psychology. I love working with students of all ages, especially those facing unique learning challenges. As an aspiring School Psychologist, I hope to use my passion for education and mental health to advocate for underrepresented children in the school system. In my free time, I am a student leader for the Navigators campus ministry. I also love to read and listen to true crime podcasts (hence the behavioral forensics certificate…). I’m excited to work with you all this year!
Kevin
Hi everyone! My name is Kevin, and I am a senior at UCF. I am majoring in psychology, and I will graduate in Fall 2024. My psychology track is Industrial/Organizational, but that was not always the case. My background used to be mostly clinical psychology until I rediscovered a passion for IO Psychology and became a research assistant for an IO Lab. Currently, I serve as a psychology peer advisor and UTA for research methods. I intend to pursue a professional degree with interests in consulting and organizational development through the application of IO psychology. As a transfer student, I understand that a college journey is not always straightforward and that’s part of the experience. That is why I am invested in supporting other students and sharing my experience as a learning resource.
