Kicha Pinthiere

Psychology, '23

Kicha started her UHart journey in Hillyer College before transitioning to the College of Arts and Sciences in her third year.She will also graduate with a minor in teacher education from UHart’s College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions, which prepares students for additional education study or for careers in psychology, advocacy, or social work. Kicha is now applying to graduate school to study school psychology. 

Hillyer was undoubtedly more demanding than high school, but with the additional help from encouraging professors, it inspired me to always do my best. The smaller class size has several advantages, including the chance to get to know our classmates, the freedom to ask questions during lectures, and the opportunity to work in groups when necessary.
