Bio
I have previously worked in clinical psychology research in a variety of different settings. My research has been focused primarily on Schizophrenia, along with other severe mental illnesses. I have also worked on research looking at Conduct disorder in children that are at high risk for developing substance use issues. More recently, I have worked as an adjunct professor in the department of Psychology at Zayed University before moving to CIS as an instructor. I am passionate about mental health and creating an inclusive and supportive environment in the classroom that enables everyone to be their best selves.
