Hi, I’m Dhea. I’m a high school junior and researcher who believes that mental health should be treated with the same urgency and importance as physical health. My work bridges the gap between the lab and the community, combining my neuroscience research with a Research Professor from USC with creative advocacy to make emotional well-being feel less like a clinical chore and more like an empowering tool. Whether I’m designing "Neuro-Joy Kits" for kids in hospitals or leading mental health campaigns that have raised hundreds of dollars for children in need, my goal is the same: to show that when we combine art with science, healing becomes more human and approachable for everyone.

Let’s build a happier brain, one canvas at a time.
