About Me
I am an alumna of the University of Mary, receiving my BS in Psychology in 2020. I received my MA in Psychological Science from the Catholic University of America in 2022 with an emphasis in health psychology. I have worked on research in depression, suicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injury and various physical health disorders. My background in research enables me to help my students understand psychological terms and complex concepts. I am excited to be faculty at the University of Mary teaching students about a field I am passionate about and collaborating with colleagues that have given so much to me.
Why I’m At MaryI am drawn to work at the University of Mary because the values and mission of the university are lived out daily in student and faculty interactions in the classroom and outside it. The values of community and respect are evident in every part of university life as all are welcomed in to understanding and truth.
