What or who influenced you to study psychology?

As a junior in college studying a major I lost interest in, I felt stuck in a field that no longer fit for me. During that time, a friend pointed out that my eyes 鈥渓it up鈥� while discussing my passion for forensic psychology. That鈥檚 when I decided to change my academic trajectory to psychology, and I still thank that friend for her helpful insight!

I enjoy the wide range of opportunities that the field of clinical psychology offers. I鈥檓 particularly passionate about conducting psychological assessments.

What appeals to you most about teaching at 海角乱伦?

I often think about how helpful the psychologists I encountered throughout my academic career were in helping me learn and reach my goals. Through teaching at 海角乱伦, I hope to offer that same gift to others.

My favorite book is How to Do the Work by Nicole LaPera, because self-healing is a brave and exciting journey.
