Biography

I am truly passionate about teaching and mentorship. I teach a variety of courses including psychopathology, history and systems, research methods, and advanced cognitive behavioral therapy. I am also the faculty advisor to an active student group called the Sexual Wellness and Advocacy Group (SWAG). My primary aim is to engage students in critical thinking, discussion, and debate. I strive to appeal to students' diverse learning styles through a multi-media teaching approach, and through my own passion and enthusiasm for psychological science. Outside the classroom, I support students in honing their clinical skills and interests, developing their professional identities, and ultimately, in achieving their career goals.
