I am Nikyra Wheaton, a girl from Chicago, Illinois.

During my time here at SIUE I plan to be presented with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and Sociology by 2028. With both degrees, I dream to get my masters in psychology and then to become a therapist. In my free time I love to sing and listen to music which is therapy to me, spend money at target and be with friends and family. An obstacle I overcame was letting other people hurt me mentally. As I have grown, I tend to always take care of my mental health and put me first when dealing with people.
