Did you visit campus before choosing UE? What did you think about UE after that visit?

I did and I thought the campus was the perfect size with the community feeling very tight knit. Coming from a larger school with larger classes, I wanted something smaller and UE was perfect.

Why did you choose to attend UE’s PsyD program over other graduate/doctoral programs?

I chose UE because the faculty were all so kind and responsive throughout the process. I also love how the UE program can cater to my clinical and research interests.

What advice would you share with students going through the college search for graduate/doctoral programs and why do you recommend UE?

I would say keep your options open, you never know who you will meet or where you will go. Coming from Ohio I never thought I would wind up in Southern Indiana, but in keeping my options open and casting a wide net, I found the perfect program for me. I would recommend UE because so far there has been a great balance of school, fun, and great people!

Hobbies:

I like to be active, work out, play basketball and pickleball. I like to watch movies, TV and sports as well as loving to hang out with friends.
