I am a fourth year graduate student in the Clinical Psychology PhD program here at Michigan State University (MSU).  I expect to finish my dissertation in the next two years and begin a clinical internship in 2014. Currently, I am a graduate research assistant in Dr. Kelly Klump's laboratory, where I conduct interviews with our participants as well as complete various other lab duties. 

     I also completed my undergraduate work at MSU, and graduated with honors in May 2007 with a Bachelors of Science in psychology and a specialization in bioethics, humanities, and society. 

     My research is aimed at examining the ways in which genes and environment interact in the development of various forms of psychopathology, especially during adolescence.
