e-Portfolio

Hey there! And welcome to my e-Portfolio! I’m Joanna Zappalla and I am an undergraduate at Penn State University. I am currently pursuing a double major in Psychology-Neuroscience Option and Biobehavioral Health with a minor in Biology. I’ve been taking various classes in both areas and I find the material extremely interesting. I’m looking to pursue a career that combines the biopsychosocial aspect into health. I am a strong believer in the power of our thoughts and that our mind and body works concurrently as one fluid entity. With each class I take, I learn more and more about the complex working of our selves and my interests expands. Since I aim to pursue a career in either the medical or psychological field, I’ve also been studying ways to improve my communication and speech skills. I learned that rhetoric is in everything that we do. It's not only about what you say but the way in which you way it.  Here you can peruse through some assignments I’ve been working on. Now that the modern world is so intertwined with our technology advancements, I choose to include some new mediums to portray my work. As shown above you can visit some of my blog sites, watch a few videos, listen to an audio element, and read over some of my essays. I hope, as you look over some of my academic works, you begin to understand a little bit of who I am while maybe even learning some of the things I have been throughout my academic career. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. Enjoy your stay!
