My name is Heer and I am a student at Drexel studying Behavioral Health Counseling with a Psychology minor. I was born and raised outside of Boston, MA and I plan on moving back there after I graduate from Drexel in the Spring. I’ve always been extremely passionate about advocating for patients in the field of mental health as I have previously worked as a Patient Advocate at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital and Mercy Hospital of Philadelphia for my co-op. In my spare time I enjoy pursuing my own academic interests, I am currently conducting research on Genetic Predisposition to Developing Alcohol Use Disorder in Adults. I have analyzed countless sources on this topic and am aiming to consolidate the information derived from my metanalysis into a manuscript. I presented on this topic at a conference in Las Vegas in 2018 and since then my passion for research has driven me to consider attending graduate school in hopes to obtain my Master’s Degree in Applied Behavioral Analysis. Amongst all the academic chaos I also enjoy hot yoga, Zumba dancing and meditation. Recently, I've acted as the caretaker for a two year old Siberian Husky so I am also a dog momma! I enjoy writing about a variety of topics that I feel passionate about that range from healthcare and diversity to fashion and social media.
