My name is Louis Grilli. I'm a freshman from Hazlet, New Jersey in Monmouth County. It is located in central New Jersey near the shore. I am a psychology major and I am fascinated by the brain and how people think and act. I aspire to be a clinical psychologist and aid people with mental disorders in functioning with society. I hope to help all those with mental disorders. I would like to either open a private practice or work in a hospital. I hope to go on to graduate chool in order to achieve my career goals. I am not sure if I would rather get a masters or doctorate yet. My rural connection is my grandfather. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, my grandfather spent four months working on a farm in upstate New York. He speaks fondly of his memories to this day and I would like to learn more about the agriculture and labor practice in rural areas.
