Amanda Hayes is an undergraduate studying psychology with plans of taking her studies into the field of expressive arts therapy. She is very involved and interested in the arts such as film, photography and creative writing. She discovered the love of writing as young child due to her reserved and quiet psyche, and began practicing shortly after her grandmother passed away when she was 10. She hopes to take her passion and love for the arts and incorporate it with her interest in the field of psychology, using them together in a way to help people reduce anxiety and other stressors that life might bring along the way.
