Kimberly Beltrán
McNair Scholar 2026
- Major(s): Psychology
- Classification: Senior
- Anticipated Graduation Date: December 2026
- Career Aspirations: After obtaining my bachelor's degree, I plan to pursue advanced education by earning a master's degree or doctorate in Clinical Psychology. My goal is to specialize in working with children, adolescents, and healthcare professionals, with a focus on trauma and secondary traumatic stress. Regardless of the program, my primary objective is to help build a community that reduces the stigma surrounding mental health and promotes greater awareness and support for those affected by mental health challenges.
“The best part of the McNair experience has been the meaningful relationships I have built and the opportunity to explore the possibilities of higher education. The McNair Scholars Program has helped me develop a clear path toward my goals while addressing areas in which I needed growth as a student and strengthening the skills and qualities I already possessed."
