【開箱大學教授】From English Literature to Cognitive Neuroscience|Corey Fernandez, Assistant Professor at Nevada State University (1)
Professor Corey Fernandez, originally from a background in English literature, serendipitously encountered psychology and discovered that this was the field she truly wanted to pursue and invest in. She dedicated her time and energy to this newfound passion, ultimately obtaining dual degrees in English and psychology. However, after graduation, although she knew she wanted to pursue academic research, she still felt uncertain. Instead of stagnating, she chose to seek advice from her teachers, long-term companions, and peers, even proactively writing to professors in her favorite research fields for guidance. Despite ultimately deciding to enter the workforce for a few years, which seemed like a later start compared to others, she believed that her experience in the workplace became the best nourishment for her future research. Therefore, she encourages all students to seek help from those around them when feeling uncertain about their path in life. By finding a direction they genuinely love, they can continue on their journey tirelessly and with enduring passion.
