More About Me

  • Favorite Inspirational Quote by Maya Angelou – “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.”
  • Favorite Motivational Quote – “Never take a ‘NO’ from someone who never had the authority to give you a ‘YES’ in the first place.”
  • I love to travel with family and friends.
  • I have a passion for reading, especially non-fiction books that are psychological in nature.
  • I became interested in the area of psychology while taking some amazing psychology courses at both MCC and CMU. My passion for the discipline has driven me to obtain my doctorate and extend my own research into the area of gifted children and adolescence.
