Did fieldwork where we conducted research in underserved communities and taught preventive practices. Took a specific interest in Psychiatry and Neurology. However, I made a career change and decided to delve into learning, teaching languages, and traveling instead. This background knowledge and experience still helped me find a career path of my own when I relocated to the U.S. and decided to return to College to study different branches of Linguistics and Psychology, with the goal of specializing in a new field.
