She was an RA in the TCF Lab 2013-2014 and then graduated from Northern Kentucky University in 2018 with her Masters of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She is currently working as both a school and office-based therapist at Children’s Home of Cincinnati with children, adolescents, and adults. She stated she feels her role in the TCF lab helped her to better conceptualize affective and communication patterns within the family system, and that that knowledge base has been beneficial in her work as a therapist who often works with multiple members of each family in some capacity.
