Name: Vironica Glover

Hometown: El Mirage, AZ

Major: I graduated from LSU with a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. 

Future Goals: I plan to obtain a Ph.D. in School Psychology and eventually split my time between instruction at a higher education institution and working in an academic medical center.

On CRISP Team: Dr. Long’s research on cultural responsiveness aligns with my interest in ethnically diverse populations, specifically - how school psychologists can better serve those students and encourage achievement.

Hobbies: I love to attend LSU sports events whenever I can to support our teams! I enjoy watching TV shows, movies, and TikToks. I also find joy in assisting with baking or cooking.
