Fun Fact

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me rock climbing, playing Dungeons & Dragons, or diving into a good video game.

Best Piece of Advice for Students

Don’t focus on knowing everything, instead focus on staying curious, asking questions, and building rapport with those you encounter. The best behavioral health professionals are lifelong learners who lead with empathy and authenticity.
