Year Program Started: 2024
Background: I grew up in California, attending UC Davis for my undergraduate education where I got my B.S in Psychology and minored in Sociology. Before moving to Oregon to begin Graduate School, I worked as a Mental Health Technician in an inpatient psychiatric facility where I was tasked with continuous patient care, supervision and documentation, as well as leading community groups.
Research Interests: My main research interests include the recidivism rates of justice-involved individuals who experience co-occurring clinical disorders and aggressive, violent, and generally maladaptive behaviors. I am similarly interested in psychopathy and sexual violence, the relationship between the two, as well as the assessment of each in a clinical setting.
More About Me: In my free time you can often find me reading, catching up on new shows and movies, baking or spending time with friends and family. Staying active is one of my favorite destressors and I like to swim, rock climb, and ski as much as I can. I also love to travel and am excited to explore Oregon when not in lab or class!
