Hello! Welcome to my website. My name is Zhaira and I'm excited to share my journey with you all as I grow into becoming a neuropsychologist. Here you can find some of my passion projects, work, and more. Thank you!

Why Neuropsychology?

I decided to major in psychology because in my senior year of high school, I was exposed to online mental health trainings which inspired me to advocate for others. I also was always interested in learning more about the brain and how it functions. At an early age I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder, and whenever I would visit the EEG technician, I would always be curious and want to learn more.

Future Plans

I have plans to graduate with my Bachelor's in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University this upcoming Spring (May 2025). As well as in the process of applying to master's programs in psychology as a first step in becoming a neuropsychologist.

Community

I believe it's important to give back to the community and create an environment where underrepresented population can be heard.

High-Flying

I believe that it's importance not to give up on your dream by setting small goals to help you "fly high".

Knowledge

I believe that knowledge is eternal and something that can never be taken away. Which is why I like to have a learning/growth mindset.

Support

I believe it's important to find our own sense of support/community. That can allow us to feel safe and heard.
