Bio

I graduated high school class of 1993. Then went to Penn State and graduated with a BS in Management and Organization in 1997. I moved to Los Angeles met my husband and a few years later moved to Arizona, where I earned a Masters in Educational Psychology and Education Technology from Northern Arizona University in 2013 and 2016. I've worked in higher education since 2008, starting at Central Arizona College as part of their Small Business Development Center and also in admissions and registrations. I then worked at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix for 7 years before moving back to Los Angeles and working for the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California! I manage and coordinate the Psychiatry Clerkship as well as support the Consult Liason Psych Fellowship and the Psych Residency programs. Somewhere in between, I also earned a certificate in Baking and Patisserie from the Pasadena School of Culinary Arts (aka Le Cordon Blue Pasadena). I live with my husband, 2 cats and a dog in Downtown Los Angeles.
