Did you visit campus before choosing UE? What did you think about UE after that visit?
I only visited once, but during that time I loved the overall community feel of the campus and felt very comfortable with the people I met.
Why did you choose to attend UE’s PsyD program over other graduate/doctoral programs and why would you recommend UE?
The collaborative feel really stood out to me. Everyone seems genuinely invested in each other’s success. The community mental health clinic was also a huge draw because it offers such valuable experience working with a wide range of people. I would recommend UE because the faculty and peers truly work together, and the program provides strong clinical training.
What advice would you share with students going through the college search for graduate/doctoral programs?
I think it's easy to get caught up in the logistics of picking a graduate school. While those are important, I'd say you also need to listen to your instincts. It might sound simple, but you’ll know which place is right for you.
Hobbies:
I love spending time outdoors doing just about anything and enjoy playing the cello.
