About Me

Hello and welcome to my ePortfolio. My name is Devin Weeks. I am currently a senior at the University of South Carolina and I am currently pursing a B.S. in Psychology. Upon graduation, I will be furthering my education by attending grad school to obtain a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. My areas of interest includes understanding protective factors that are associated with racial discrimination and stressors, factors associated with education attainment of African Americans, and connections between African American psychology and religion using conceptual and theological approaches. I will be graduating with Leadership and Distinction from the University of South Carolina within the pathway of Research.  

I was born in Columbia, South Carolina. Since birth I have always been a gamecock fan. I am a second generation gamecock. Attending the University of South Carolina, has been nothing more than a dream come true. I am very thankful for the experiences and friends I have gained over these short 4 years. My favorite memory as a gamecock includes winning the 2022 Women's Basketball National Championship and shortly after being able to attend an in-person student only Darius Rucker concert celebrating our national championship. A feat that I like to brag about, is that I am amongst the top undergraduate students in the universities students point rewards system. How the rewards system work: For every athletic sporting event you attend, you receive a point that counts towards lower level deck football tickets. My highest rank achieved was 2nd! 

Growing up, I was a huge Star Wars fan. I grew up watching Star Wars the Clone Wars. It was definitely my favorite show as a kid. My favorite part of the show was the unique aspect of fighting within the show that involved lightsabers. The picture above this passage on the left is a me holding a replica lightsaber hilt that I managed to get while at Disney World Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. The hilt is from my favorite character (jedi) in the show Ahsoka Tano. The picture on the right is a life-sized replica Millennium Falcon from Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope. It is a staple figure of Star Wars lore. One of the biggest and greatest part of my college experience were the friends I made along the way. I met many of them through twitter before I even stepped foot on campus. The pictures below shows some of my closest friends. I even got the chance to meet the president of the university!
