Her career trajectory provided opportunities to learn in a variety settings, including, but not limited to:  pediatric hospital psychiatric inpatient and residential units; school-based psychology programs; prisoner psychological assessment and risk evaluation; psychological diagnostic, personality assessment, and neuropsychological evaluation consultation in adult psychiatric hospitals; experiential therapy; forensic psychological reports and collateral investigation; and, gender and sexually diverse cultural competency and humility consultation for providers and organizations.
