About me
I received my doctoral degree in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine in 2009. Before attending UC Irvine, I earned my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I am currently a Professor in the Psychology department at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). My research focuses on using psychology to inform best practices in the criminal justice system and reduce stigma for people with mental illness and criminal justice involvement.
I am the director of UTEP’s Mental Health and Criminal Justice Lab.
