I am a graduate student at Hofstra University in the doctoral program in Clinical Psychology. My clinical work involves evidence-based treatment of phobias, trauma, and anxiety. My research explores motivation and learning in psychosis and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, particularly in first-episode and early psychosis. During undergrad, I studied Psychology at Boston University with a minor in history and am happy to talk about my experiences during undergrad or to answer career/school questions if you are interested in pursuing further study in psychology.
My favorite hot sauce is Texas Pete's, my favorite dog is a German Shepherd, and my favorite move is Inglorious Basterds. I love plants and baking and hope that you find something in this course that you love!
