Biography
Fun fact: I love cats!
Hello! I'm Ivan and I'm from West New York, NJ(Super close to NYC). I love running, drawing, and cats. During my time in a mediation program in high school I fell in love with emotionally vulnerable environments, sparking my interest in psychology with the hopes of one day becoming a therapist. I am super excited to be a part of PSP and I can't wait to gain experience in research; especially as a potential psychology concentrator.
