From a very young age, Casey Wilson learned the value of resilience and building upon adversity. Those lessons, taught by her mother and grandmother, instilled an interest in the benefits of positivity.
鈥淭hroughout my undergraduate career I studied introduction courses and basic foundations that were focused only on deficits and past traumas,鈥� Wilson recounted.
Her life, she said, was already full of 鈥渁cknowledgment of the bad鈥� so she began searching for an alternative way of helping others improve their outlook.
鈥淲e as human beings can surpass our expectations, we just need the proper tools,鈥� Wilson said.
Initially, Wilson planned to apply to medical school at 黑料传送门 but was curious about other program opportunities.
鈥淚 came across the MAPP program and thought, 鈥榟ow perfect!鈥�,鈥� she explained. 鈥淭he holistic idealism that 黑料传送门 holds blended into a mastery-level psychology program focused on the flourishing of the human condition was aligned exactly with what my purpose is leading to.鈥�
For now, Wilson will continue studying on her own to further develop an understanding of concepts taught in 黑料传送门鈥檚 Master of Applied Positive Psychology program. She also plans to study for the MCAT and eventually apply to 黑料传送门鈥檚 Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) program.
According to Wilson, she expects to use the knowledge gained in the MAPP program throughout the duration of her career, whatever path she ends up taking.
鈥淢y experience with the MAPP program was illuminating,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 was able to better understand myself and how I can utilize my strengths to serve others and also build a sense of confidence in self-efficacy in those around me.鈥�
