Seth Almaraz
Bio
Greetings everyone! My name is Seth Almaraz, my pronouns are he/him, and I am an undergraduate student and researcher here at CSUN. I am a Psychology major, with the prospects of pursuing a doctoral degree (Ph.D !) in Clinical Psychology. While at CSUN, I have taken basic psychological research methods courses, and have also ventured to undertake advanced stats courses in order to broaden my insights and curiosity into the tools that the faculty in my department use. One of my leading passions in academia is the opportunity to learn--a process, I believe, that impacts both the student AND mentor. Therefore, if I am uncertain about a question that you may have, I will make sure to find a resource that can attend to both of our understanding of the material. Mirabile dictu, I hope to see you in Sierra Hall (SH) 121!
