Ria Gupta graduated from UBC in 2021 with a major in psychology and a minor in education. She is very passionate about mental health advocacy and intends to join the profession of counselling psychology. Her passion stems from the stigma she has seen surrounding mental health in India, where talking about it is still taboo. Through her peer support positions at UBC and in the community, she hopes to be able to support youth in realizing the importance of prioritizing mental health. Currently, she is also a Crisis Responder at Kids Help Phone as well as a Research Assistant at a UBC Counseling Lab. In her free time, she loves dancing, listening to podcasts and binge-watching dramas.
