What is your favorite thing about the IART lab? My students 😊

What topics do you most enjoy researching? Third-wave behavioral interventions to prevent suicide. Right now, we collaborate on a VA study where we are adapting a mindfulness-based intervention to prevent suicide for telehealth delivery to rural Veterans at suicide risk. It’s interesting and important, and I really like our VA colleagues.

What made you interested in teaching? The idea that I could train the next generation of Psychologists.

What do you like most about WPU? I like the collegiality between faculty, faculty and students, and among students.
