Hi! I’m Ashley and I’m in my final year of the BA Psychology program and currently applying to grad schools for next year. I’m excited to lead the Psyc Society this year and create some informative and fun events for our members. I hope to create a welcoming environment within the Psyc Society where students feel comfortable reaching out for help, mentorship, or even just a friendly chat.

Amalia Uliniuc, Vice President

Hi! My name is Amalia, and I am a 4th-year BA psychology student. Throughout my academic career, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to complete an Applied Studies course under the expert guidance of Dr. Reiko Yeap, where I applied classroom knowledge to my work as an Employment Consultant. Currently, I am undergoing an independent research study supervised by Dr. Jamie Prowse-Turner, hoping to contribute to the field of psychology. As my ultimate goal, I aspire to become an accomplished Industrial Psychologist, where I can implement evidence-based practices that promote employee engagement, work-life balance, and organizational effectiveness. Outside of school, I take every opportunity to explore national parks and enjoy the outdoors.
