Why did you choose neuropsychology as a profession?
I chose neuropsychology as a profession because I have always enjoyed learning about psychological science and thinking about what makes people think and act the way they do. I particularly enjoy analyzing multiple data points from different sources to piece together the puzzle of the client’s presenting problem.
Why did you choose to work at Neurocognitive Specialty Group?
I chose to work at Neurocognitive Specialty Group because of the excellence that permeates the doctors practicing within the group. The training and experience of the doctors within this group are second to none, in my opinion; and the added bonus of exceptional collegiality among them ensures we are all continuously growing and learning from each other to maintain the highest standard of practice for our clients and patients.
