Why did you choose to attend UE’s PsyD program over other graduate/doctoral programs?

I chose UE’s PsyD program because I am passionate about the Clinical Psychology program, and it is close to home for me. I also love that the cohort size is small so I have more one-on-one time with the professors and have the ability to build relationships with others who share the same passion as me.

What advice would you share with students going through the college search for graduate/doctoral programs?

Take your time and don’t hesitate to ask questions. Pick a program that you are passionate about because you will be spending a lot of time studying the curriculum.

Why do you recommend UE?

I recommend the University of Evansville because it has developed this new and imperative program that will help the local community with mental health through the UE Mental Health and Wellness Clinic and Emily M. Young Assessment Center.

Hobbies:

I like to travel, eat food, and listen to music. I also really enjoy mediating and creating vision boards.
