Marisa, why did you chose psychology?
"Understanding human behavior has always been an interest of mine. The mind can be both a beautiful and dark place."
In my free time, I love to.....
"work in my garden, read, play with my dogs, and watch documentaries."
The best piece of advice I've ever received is...
"Loving yourself is just as important as loving others."
What's the most inspiring part of your job?
"How resilient people can be, the strength that can come from support, and how far kindness can go."
The most important thing I've learned from life is....
"Age does not define your experience and always remember to laugh.”
When I was 10, I wanted to be a...
"I wanted to be an archaeologist just like Indiana Jones!”
What do I love best about my job?
"Watching patients grow, seeing them recognize their own strength, and being able to help end the negative stigma of mental health.”
What is your favorite quote?
