Hello! My name is Guadalupe Gonzalez. I am a junior at California State University of Bakersfield with a major in psychology.
My interest in psychology began when I was eleven years old, claiming I would become a therapist. My dream profession has changed to wanting to be an applied behavioral analyst, but my interest in the field of psychology has remained. I aspire to become someone who can offer support for people.
Recently, I have taken interest on sculpting and have made earrings and jewelry stands. Being involved in creative activities has encouraged me to look towards a hands-on approach. I love to build furniture on my own, although I do rely on following the instructions on the manual to do so. With this information in mind, I hope to be able to provide guidance for those in need of a repair.
