“I knew that I wanted to come to the University of Minnesota when I first visited. I loved the bustle of a large school. The fact that the city was right there, that this is a highly renowned school for psychological research, that I could mold my major into whatever I wanted it to be. ... I also just fell in love with Minnesota.”

Internship and research opportunities
“My journey started as a teenager when I was a patient at the University Cleft and Craniofacial clinic. The professors and clinicians inspired me to pursue a career in healthcare. Later those same people became my advisors and lifelong mentors. When it came time to decide on a graduate program, there was no doubt in my mind.”
