While studying as a clinician at the Rutgers Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, I logged over 400 hours of clinical practicum hours. My focus in education is teaching students through hands-on and authentic learning experience by transferring my own expertise through great instruction. As such, in my courses, students will be able to interact with the tools used by practicing psychologists in order to understand and appreciate both the art and science that goes into the field.
