Amiya Williams '24 puts her best foot forward

Double major in dance entrepreneurship and psychology

“I’ve always been interested in psychology because I just like listening and trying to understand others,” she explained. “And I’ve always been interested in dance, too, so I wanted to make sure I got both areas of study while I was an undergrad, because my eventual goal is to pursue dance/movement therapy,” a practice that uses physical rhythm to help support users’ emotional, intellectual and motor functions.
