About me / Bio

I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences and my B.A. in Psychology here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am interested in how health factors, like head injuries, can influence mental health and substance use in marginalized populations, and how these factors can be different across genders.

I would love to continue researching head injuries in a Clinical Neuropsychology Ph.D. program after completing my M.A. in Sociology at UNL.

When I am not studying, I love spending time with my friends and family, and enjoying walks with my dog, Sammy.
