“There are many things I love about this program. I find the CCSP community of students, staff, and faculty, to be supportive, friendly, and collaborative. I enjoy working with Dr. Koegel and gathering my research ideas from the clinical work I do with children with autism. In turn, my research can help to inform clinical practice. Having the opportunity to work with children with autism of all ages is rewarding and meaningful and I look forward to obtaining more experience during my remaining years in the program.”
