Why did you choose neuropsychology as a profession?
I chose a career in neuropsychology following a lifelong fascination with the brain, and how it can be affected by our experiences and environment. Understanding how our brain’s structure and function leads to everything we think, say, and do, is endlessly interesting.
Why did you choose to work at Neurocognitive Specialty Group?
I joined Neurocognitive Specialty Group for the opportunities to apply my clinical skills and expertise more broadly, and grow in leadership and program development. As a bonus, my colleagues in NSG are collaborative, supportive, and connect me to professional networks around the country.
