Where did you attend undergrad & what was your major?

Arizona State University, Bachelor of Science in Forensic Psychology.

I’m glad I chose my graduate program because...

I feel that this program fits perfectly with what I hope to accomplish with my degree. I had decided to apply at UCI very early, and was so excited to become part of the Anteater family. I felt that this program was more rigorous and would better prepare for a career in my chosen field.

If I’m not in class or in a lab, you can find me…

spending time with my family. We love to stay busy and travel. We enjoy visiting aquariums, the beach, zoos, and festivals.

If I weren’t in grad school, I’d...

be working full-time in my current position as a sexual assault advocate for a local non-profit.
