What has been your most impactful class?

To me, the most impactful class has been the Neurobiology of PTSD (PSYC 473W). It is a challenging but enriching class allowing a select-group of students explore the research in all areas of PTSD (etiology, pathophysiology, comorbidity, treatments, and more). You also learn how to do Graduate school-level work. Dr. Kazama is the best!

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

My favorite Emory tradition was the Coke Toast! All the first-year students started our journey on the Quad sipping coke with our new classmates and wonderful President!

On a random day, you're most likely to find me….

Sitting at a coffee shop, sipping a latte, and getting my study on!
