Instructor
As an instructor, I work with the City University administration in ensuring the provision of high-quality education for our graduate students. My background is in Counseling, Clinical, and Forensic Psychology. Although I have a very busy practice, I continued teaching, as it is my passion. I find teaching to be enjoyable and fulfilling. I have been teaching for years, and in 2017, I started teaching at City University.
Research
As a PsyD student, my Capstone project was on the Court Response to the Concept of “Psychological Parents” in Custody Cases. My Capstone project while completing my PhD program was on Domestic Violence in the Context of Child Custody. I completed my dissertation to achieve my PhD degree, which was focused on the examination of the Moderating Effect of Self-differentiation on Stress and Burnout.
Teaching
I consider my role as an instructor as an agent of engagement. I engage the students in developing practical and academic skills and to widen their knowledge and enhance their understanding and competence in their chosen field. I believe that my years of extensive field experience with a wide array of clientele of divergent needs allow me to share practical learning experiences, raise the students’ awareness
about the realities of the work involved in the chosen profession, and teach practical application of the knowledge acquired in school. As a teacher, I see myself as a mentor, a facilitator of learning, and a guiding force to maximize the students’ learning to be dynamic and proactive professionals in the future.
