Psychologist II, Coordinator of Practicum Training

Personal Statement:
As a psychologist at the SCS, working with Texas A&M University students is a true privilege for me. I respect students' willingness to face the challenges encountered during this time of their lives. I believe in each person's capacity to utilize known and perhaps untapped strengths in adapting and creating change as she or he strives towards personal goals and potentials. I value student diversity and believe in our mission to create an environment that celebrates the uniqueness we all possess. I enjoy working with students' academic, career, and personal concerns in individual and group contexts. Outside of my responsibilities at the SCS, I have had the opportunity to teach graduate courses in educational psychology. Away from work, I enjoy spending meaningful time with my wife, two children and our dogs.
