As a teenager, Nisy sensed that counseling would be a profession best suited for her, as she found herself listening to others, empathizing with their struggles and offering words of comfort and encouragement. As a Psychology and Sociology double major from Emory University, she learned how individual personalities and their behaviors are influenced by the environment, family structure, and culture.
