Why I chose Pacific | I chose Pacific University because I was really impressed by the strong academic focus and the amazing clinical training opportunities. I also loved how the program is divided into different emphasis areas, allowing students to pursue their interests. As an adult emphasis student, the opportunity to become a broadly trained clinician was especially appealing to me and remains something I deeply value. On top of that, I couldn’t ignore how desirable it was to live in the Pacific Northwest and be part of the community here at Pacific.
Favorite thing about the program | The community! My cohort is incredibly supportive and positive. I didn’t anticipate just how strong the community at Pacific would be, but it’s been one of the most meaningful parts of my experience so far.
Favorite PsyD course | Introduction to Forensic Psychology
Tips for getting observation hours/exposure to psychology (before applying) | Get involved in undergrad research! This was huge for me and gave me an amazing perspective on what psychology looks like in the real world.
Career Aspirations | Own a private practice focused on in-depth psychotherapy and forensic assessment.
Hobbies | Working out, running, mountain biking, playing guitar, and reading science fiction and history.
