Biography: 

My journey in mental health began with an interest in mindfulness meditation. Much of my academic career involved studying the impact of meditation on mental and physical health outcomes. I am endlessly fascinated in the mind-body connection and have experience working in various health care settings providing integrated care. I am honored to be able to support such a fantastic team of clinicians in the important work of student mental health. When I am not in the office, you might find me out at a park or on a bike ride with my family. I'm a lover of the arts and always looking for new music suggestions.
