Did you visit campus before choosing UE? What did you think about UE after that visit?
Yes, I thought it was pretty and somewhat familiar because my brother attended and played basketball at UE.
Why did you choose to attend UE’s PsyD program over other graduate/doctoral programs?
The faculty was very welcoming, and I was excited when I read the program details. The advice I would share with students going through the college search for graduate/doctoral programs is to do what feels right to you, not just what others want you to do.
Why do you recommend UE?
The faculty and staff feel like a little family and there's a sort of camaraderie in the cohort that helps you to not feel alone in the process.
Hobbies:
Long-distance running, comedy (stand up, sketch writing, improv), music, spending time with my dog and friends
