Why did you choose to attend UE’s PsyD program over other graduate/doctoral programs?
The PsyD program is close to my family and perfectly fits my desire to help people in a psychological and clinical setting.
What advice would you share with students going through the college search for graduate/doctoral programs?
It is competitive and that means there will be failure. That is okay; that makes it worth doing. Go directly to the people in charge of the program and ask them about their program and how you can make yourself the best candidate possible. Make sure you take their advice.
Why do you recommend UE?
I would recommend UE because of the faculty. They are kind, considerate, understanding, helpful, and they are very accommodating.
Hobbies:
I enjoy dog training, playing guitar and singing, riding motorcycles, and going on runs!
