I deeply appreciate this scholarship because it allows me to pursue my dream of becoming a culturally responsive, community mental health clinical psychologist. I want to be able to give back to the Filipinx/Asian American and immigrant community in order to promote my community's mental welfare and highlight their strength, resilience, and sense of belonging. As a Filipina American immigrant myself, this is a wonderful opportunity to continue pursuing my desire to help my own community, as well as other communities who may also need accessible and valuable mental health resources. Thank you so much for your support in my graduate education and developing career!
