Hello and welcome! I am Diego Ramirez (he/him), a third-year Clinical Psychology Undergraduate student at UC San Diego.  

I am interested in understanding the mental health for those with alcohol/substance use disorders and addiction. More specifically, exploring the how mindfulness techniques could be used, how neuroscience plays a role from adolescents to adulthood, neuroplasticity growth/rewiring, behavioral/neural mechanisms, and psychological underlying. 

With the rise of mental health awareness and myself who has experienced loved ones with mental health illnesses, I am driven to explore what techniques/practices are out there and that could be furthered looked upon.
