Biography

I'm a Ph.D. student in the School Psychology program, working under Dr. Aaron Fischer. My research interests include supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families, both during the assessment process and beyond. My current work focuses on how caregivers adjust to their child's ASD diagnosis, with a particular emphasis on understanding chronic sorrow and grief experiences among caregivers in this population. Before attending Utah State University, I received her M.S. from Montana State University, and her M.Ed. from the University of Utah.
