Did you visit campus before choosing UE? What did you think about UE after that visit?

Yes! After visiting UE, I knew it was my home!

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

I chose UE’s PsyD program because the professors made me feel heard, reassured, and understood. They take the time to really get to know you and put the effort in to form a connection with you. I also love the UE Mental Health and Wellness Clinic and Emily M. Young Assessment Center and think it’s a wonderful opportunity for students!

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

Don’t give up, it is a difficult process, and you can do it! I hope to see you choose UE!

Why do you recommend UE?

I would recommend UE over and over again because it just feels like home!

Hobbies:

I enjoy baking, going on adventures, taking walks outside, and hanging out with my friends!
