[person:personal_statement]
I have always been fascinated with the study of the mind and brain and their effects on human behavior. As a neuropsychologist, I have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on people's lives by helping them understand their cognitive and behavioral functioning as well as help them cope with the challenges that are associated with neurodevelopmental and other complex medical disorders. I believe I can provide support and guidance to patients and their families, as well as help them navigate the healthcare system.
