Advice for Prospective Grad Students… 

Make sure you are sure of the program and the advisor because it is easy to get caught up in the idea of taking everything one after another, but academia is not a race. The more you marinate and think and explore the things you want to do, the more meaningful they will be when you actually do them.

I examine professional interactions in the context of therapy. I use discourse and conversation analysis to study the micro-details of social interaction.
