About me

I was given the privilege of growing-up in countries overseas while my father served in the United States Army. This exposure to other cultures led to a deep gratitude and appreciation for diversity of thought, language, and experience. Following my father’s footsteps, I currently serve as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserves. Both my childhood experience and my service in the Army Reserve have given me a deep-seated appreciation for Veterans and their families. Furthermore, my faith has been an integral component of my life. I am interested in what the effects of positive psychology and spiritually-oriented treatments, such as the use of moral elevation and uplifting spiritual principles, possibly in-conjunction with VA chaplain integration, have on the reduction of PTSD symptoms, substance abuse, and suicidality among the veteran population.
