| In the summer of 2004, I presented research at Oxford University with three of my research colleagues. Our research studies the well-being of graduates from Individual Development Account (IDA) programs. I spent 12 days in England, and fell in love with it! I was especially delighted by my stay in Bath, England and my trip to the Jaguar, an Irish Pub, with my new friends Frank and Willie. I took nearly 2000 pictures and short movies.

| Career | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I am currently doing therapy with young children and adolescents in school settings for a non-profit organization. My therapy style is very eclectic, but I lean heavily towards client-centered play therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I feel so alive when I am working with these kids! I current have my LCSW, but plan to take the LMSW test by year end. I hope to continue working with young kids and adolescents but might explore private practice before long. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Odyssey of the Mind | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have recently volunteered to become an Odyssey of the Mind coach of a team of kindergarten and 1st grade students. I would have loved doing something like this as a kid and hope to be able to help these kiddos open their minds to alternative ways of thinking and seeing the world. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
