Personal Statement

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2003 and completed my residency and post-doctoral training at Yale University School of Medicine. In 2004, I was appointed as an assistant professor at Oklahoma State University. In 2007, I was hired as an assistant professor of psychology at the University of North Texas to be a core faculty member for its doctoral program in clinical psychology. This move was important to my research program because it freed me from the many administrative responsibilities I had acquired as Director of the training clinic at Oklahoma State University. Trained in the Boulder model, I highly value the integration of science and practice and strive to integrate these elements into all aspects of my work.
