    I am a Pediatric Psychology Fellow in the Department of Psychology and Biobehavioral Sciences. I have my Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and completed my pre-doctoral internship at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through the University of Tennessee Health Science Center's Professional Psychology Internship Consortium. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan with various medical and psychological concerns. My areas of interest include helping children and their families cope with the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic and oncologic diseases and providing support throughout the transition back home and into the community following intensive medical intervention and cancer-directed therapy.
