I am a Stanford alumna.
I have earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.
I aIso have earned certificates from UCLA Los Angeles, University Extension in Basic and Advanced Early Childhood Education. The Advanced was earned with distinction.

I am an Interviewer for local undergraduate applicants to Stanford University.

Before all the aforementioned events, my boyfriend and I, as high school seniors in Advanced Biology, taught and were fully responsible for the sophomore Biology labs. We composed the lab tests, graded them, taught the labs, and supervised them. What an opportunity that was!
