Where did you grow up?

When I was in high school, I took a Psychology class, and that led me to read books by Carl Jung and about neuropsychology.

I have spent a career working with people diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness in the public mental health system. I have also worked for many years with older adults.
What appeals to you most about teaching at MSP?
I enjoy revisiting the existential and humanistic roots of my master’s and doctoral education.
What is your favorite non-academic book and why?
I am currently reading the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. I enjoy how he uses wit to explore modern topics in a fantasy world.
What advice would you like to share with incoming or current students?
Remember that this is the beginning of your career and that having a degree in psychology opens you up to many different possibilities.
