Assistant Professor of Psychology

Core Supervisor - Psychological Testing & Assessment Clinic (PTAC)

Research Associate, Institute for Social and Policy Research

Introduction

I am a core faculty in the psychology graduate programs, where I teach psychological assessment and psychopathology courses. Additionally, I serve as a clinical supervisor and research mentor/advisor.

Research Overview

My research lies at the intersection of psychology and law. Specifically, I focus on how neuropsychological services (assessment, treatment) can be integrated into existing systems impacting people involved in the criminal legal system to improve clinical and legal outcomes.

Previous Roles

Prior to joining PNW in Fall 2025, I worked as a clinical neuropsychologist at a large forensic psychiatric hospital in Southern California. There, my clinical work focused on neuropsychological evaluation and treatment of patients who were incompetent to stand trial.
