Portrait of Gabriel Haynes

01Who I am

I'm a student at Arlington Tech, the Governor's STEM Academy in Arlington, Virginia, where I'm pursuing my Advanced Studies Diploma alongside a General Studies Associate's Degree through Northern Virginia Community College. Both are expected in June 2027.

I'm drawn to psychology because I like understanding why people think and act the way they do, and I want to use that understanding to help people directly. Outside of academics, I lead, perform, and volunteer every chance I get, and music ties most of it together. This site is my home base for all of that: who I am, what I've worked on, and how to reach me.

I help guide students who need a support group to join the cohort, and I co-lead meetings focused on how to grow as students, as future men, and as a supportive community for each other.
