Why did you choose to attend UE’s PsyD program over other graduate/doctoral programs and how does this lead to you recommending UE?
I enjoy that UE was close to home, and I really like how this program has a hands-on approach to learning. UE also gives back to the community and that was something I really appreciated. Everybody that I have met is very welcoming and they all truly want [the students] to succeed.
What advice would you share with students going through the college search for graduate/doctoral programs?
Make sure you find a program that aligns with your interests and do not be afraid to ask questions to make sure it is a good fit.
Hobbies:
I enjoy dressing up my porch goose, scuba diving, reading, doing crafts, and baking.
