<i>Home Institution</i>: Syracuse University <i>Expected Graduation Year</i>: 2023 <i>Academic Major / Minor</i>: Psychology & Neuroscience / Disability Studies <i>Destination</i>: Sydney, Australia <i>"Hello" in your host country's language</i>: Hello <i>Demographics</i>: African American/Black, First-Generation American, First-Generation College Student <i>Future Career Goals</i>: My career objective is to study the implications associated with the vast technological advances in society by observing both cognitive changes in the brain and physical health outcomes. I aim to understand how technological advancement has altered the autonomy of the human nervous systems by using computational methods such as Python and R to develop tests and devices for assessing the possible disorders associated with technology use and addiction. <i>Top Three Study Abroad Goals</i>: Learn about the cultural and societal nuances within Australia; Successfully live independently across the globe, which I hope will prepare me for graduate school; Have fun! I hope this trip not only enriches me in a different culture, I plan to enjoy and experience as much as I am offered.
