Hello! My name is LaShawnda Ramsey and I am a peer tutor for the Hopkins Lab. Here at Carlow, I am currently a sophomore. My areas of study are Art (with a concentration in drawing and painting), Psychology (with a concentration in counseling and in crisis and trauma). Some of my interests are drawing, painting, music, singing, beatboxing, writing music, rollerblading, bike riding, etc. Becoming a peer tutor, for the Hopkins Lab, has truly presented to me what it means to be responsible, assertive, and helpful. One of the most important reasons why I love being a student here at Carlow University is because of how kind the people are; they have truly made me feel like I am at home. Thank you all so much for reading and I hope to see you all soon!
