Brian Park

Elevator Pitch Assignment

Hello, my name is Brian Park and I am a student at Purdue University and currently, my

major is undecided, but I hope to transition into psychological sciences in the College of Health

and Human Sciences. I am interested in researching the effect of music on mental illnesses in the

hopes of attending grad school afterwards in order to further pursue my goal of becoming a

clinical psychologist. I am easily able to sense other people's feelings by imagining myself in

others’ lives or situations, recognize and cultivate potential in others in terms of improvement

and progress, evaluate the different qualities of people and allow them to work efficiently, and

adapt to any kind of situation that comes before me, which are skills that I think would make a

great clinical psychologist. As a former Vice President of the student council, members of Key

Club, DECA, Environmental Club, UNC Medical Center, and Korean School, I have had my fair

share of both leadership and fellowship in the fields of public health and community service,

which set the groundwork for the major and the career that I am interested in. I want to be able to

truly understand the human psyche so that I can help people that have trouble finding purpose or

importance in their lives in such a way that they won’t have to second guess or doubt themselves

about the struggles they go through. I am looking to gain more knowledge and insight in the

department of psychology so that I can further develop my interest in clinical psychology and

specific research opportunities that can truly help people.
