Studying Psychology as an undergraduate at the University of Arizona, I have been given many opportunities to explore my interests in greater depth within the parameters of Psychology. My ambition is to earn my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience and my dream is to become a university professor and a researcher. I would love to study the Cognitive Neuroscience of children with Autism and possibly studying language and intelligence in general. But, the subjects have the possibility of change. Aside from school, I truly enjoy learning about anything and everything though my favorite subjects are psychology, astronomy, and philosophy. I also enjoy riding scooters and motorcycles, going to scholarly seminars, and intellectually debating. I hold knowledge very high and I look forward to a life full of it!

My true goal is to inspire people, to be people’s inspiration, the way I was inspired.

The future depends on what we do in the present

I am an undergraduate studying Psychology at the University of Arizona, with aspirations to earn my PhD and serve a term in the Peace Corps in the near future. Aside from active involvement in my studies and in Psi Chi, I also work as a secretary at a dermatology office, run frequently, and create art using varying media (time permitting).

Watch your thoughts; they become your words.
Watch your words; they become your actions.
Watch your actions; they become your habits.
Watch your habits; they become your character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

My name is Bina Gold and I'm the Secretary of Psi Chi which means I get
to plan all the fun social events! I'm a Psychology major in my senior year
with a minor in Family Studies & Human Development. I have been a peer mentor

adolescent, and a research assistant for Dr. Sbarra for the past 2 years. I'm
currently applying for my Masters in Social Work as well as the Teach For
America program. I'm originally from California and plan on returning there for
Graduate school. If you ever have any questions about what psych classes to
take, internships to find, or questions about the application process to
graduate school please feel free to e-mail me! I'm always here to help.

I am a senior here at The University of Arizona, and will be graduating in May
2009. I plan to take a year off after graduation to prepare and apply for PhD
programs in School Psychology. Some of my fields of interests that I hope to
pursue in graduate school include ADHD, emotional/behavior disorders,
pediatric-school psychology, and early assessment and intervention. In addition
to being on the treasurer for Psi Chi, I am also involved with Dr. Feldman's
mentor program and a research assistant in Dr. Schere's Developmental Cognitive
Neuroscience Lab and Dr. Sbarra's Social Connectedness and Health lab.

I wish everyone a successful semester and hope to meet you at Psi Chi events! Psi Chi is a great opportunity to meet other psychology majors and find out about volunteer, grad school, and community opportunities!
