Fun Facts
Hobbies/hidden talents?
I practice yoga and really enjoy trying new restaurants with my husband. I also really enjoy cleaning and organization.
Favorite quotes/sayings?
“You can be efficient with things, but you can’t be efficient with relationships.”
Pets?
I have a tuxedo cat named Marley. She is a rescue, a terrible bug hunter, and has been described as looking like she would (and has) hit someone with her car.
What advice would you offer to someone thinking about graduate school?
Take some statistics or research methods classes. Even if you’re going into the clinical side, understanding research methods is so important to what you’ll be doing and will make your classes easier.
