Getting to know me...

As this is my first official post as a blogger, I thought it would be good to tell everyone a little bit about myself. I am a 24-year-old female, currently living in Lincoln, Nebraska, where I have spent the last four months, and will spend the next seven or so months, completing my predoctoral internship. My intern situtation is a little bit unique, as I split my time between two different organizations: Nebraska Mental Health Centers and OMNI Behavioral Health (more info. to come about these sites later).

I am originally from Moberly, Missouri, which is a pretty small town near Columbia, MO. I am the oldest of two children. My 20-year-old sister Megan is currently working on completing her bachelors degree in dietetics and will be transferring to the University of Missouri-Columbia in the Fall. My parents have been married for 26 years and live in Moberly, MO.

I graduated from Moberly High School, spent a year and a half finishing my Associates degree in Psychology at Moberly Area Community College, and spent the next year and a half completing my Bachelors degree in Psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia (go tigers!!!) My decision to come to Forest for my graduate education was easy...I loved the location and the town, and saw great strength in the clinical emphasis of the program. Little did I know when I began my graduate school journey that many wonderful and challenging things would be waiting for me along the way!
