CARTER SILVERSTEIN


Undergrad psych major


SUMMARY

I would describe myself as a jack-of-all-trades. I’ve worked retail, early childhood, and physical labor. Although my life’s passion is psychology, I can learn just about anything with relative ease. I am a motivated and disciplined 19-year-old student. I am looking for internships, connections, and part-time work experience. If you want to know more about me, I encourage you to visit my website!
