Undergraduate Program
I serve as Co-Coordinator of the Human Services Concentration for psychology majors.
My passion for addressing homelessness emerged through my post-baccalaureate work at DESC, a leading innovator in Housing First and homeless service delivery in Seattle, WA. Today, I am inspired by the wisdom and commitment to social justice of the amazing students on my research team.
I live for dogs, bad movies, comfort food, and cross-country road trips.
