About me: Hi Huskies! My name is Yoonseo, and I'm a current junior majoring in Psychology (B.S.) with a minor in Informatics. I've been in the Interdisciplinary Honors Program since freshman year and am currently an Honors Peer Facilitator! I love working with and for people, and I'm interested in pursuing clinical therapy work after graduation. Outside of school, I enjoy walking my dog (Noon) and baking sweet treats with my younger brother. Feel free to reach out about anything Psychology- or Honors-related-I'd love to share my personal experiences and advice!
