Background:  I'm a first year graduate student in the clinical psychology program.  I graduated in 2002 from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I am also a former fellow of the American Indians Into Psychology (AIIP) Summer Enrichment Program. I currently work in the AIIP office and am still very much involved with the program.

Clinical Interests:  My Clinical interests include working with adolescents and adults in prevention and intervention concerning substance abuse and depression. I want to work with underrepresented populations, preferrably in a tribal or Indian Health Service setting.
