Hi everyone, this is Yuki (she/her). I’m a transfer student, pre-majoring in psychology and majoring in international politics with a concentration on international relations. I am studying psychology because I would like to learn more about mental health especially music therapy, which is the field of study, I’m going to pursue after graduated from Penn State. In Psychology Club, I am working as secretary, and broadening my horizon toward cultural differences in a conversation of mental health. I’m part of Psychology Club to learn more about psychology and sub-fields of psychology. I am so excited to work and cooperate with other officers and participants of monthly lectures.

Treasurer: Rich Carney | e-mail: rpc5682@psu.edu
Hi, I’m Rich and excited to be the treasurer I attended college in 2006-2009studying biology and after changing my mind about biology, I took a break from school and worked. In 2012, I was diagnosed with Vasculitis, a rare autoimmune disease, and went on disability. I had the opportunity to do volunteer work with nonprofits and a service term with AmeriCorps National Health Corps as a patient advocate. When I was well enough to go back to school, I began studying psychology here at Penn State. I am hoping to attend graduate school for clinical psychology with a concentration in health psychology. I’m also involved in the Online Students of Psychology Research lab and working on a project to help other Penn State students with disabilities navigate college. When I’m not doing schoolwork or research I train and play with my service dog, Cody, in Philadelphia, PA. I love to bake (I make a killer cheesecake and lavender shortbread), hike, and tinker with electronics and various DIY projects.

“I am out with lanterns looking for myself” – Emily Dickinson
Hi, my name is Zia and I’m delighted to take up the role of Editor in Chief for Mind Over Matters at WCPC. I grew up in India and moved to the USA with my family recently. I am a psychology major at Penn State and after getting my degree I am focused to get into Grad school for a PhD and study Infant and Toddler’s development and dive into how they view society. I am also Assistant Lab Manager of Online Students of Psychology Research Lab (OSP) where I am studying Correlation of dietary choices and helping attitudes between Millenial and Gen Z. I am also involved as a research assistant with Personality Assessment & Program Evaluation Research Lab (PAPER) where I work under Dr. Sharon Nelson. I have loved reading and writing since I was a little girl. Reading Disney novels helped me unleash my creative side and it started as a hobby of writing princess short stories, which turned into writing blogs and academic research papers. Outside my academic ventures I love to swim, watch TV, cook Mexican food and spend quality time with my friends and family.
