He graduated from George Mason University with a B.S. in Psychology with a concentration in Clinical Psychology and a minor in Neuroscience. Broadly speaking, he is interested in the intersectionality between physical and mental health and how critical social support is in family systems. His goals are to assist individuals who are struggling with physical and/or mental pain, to understand the unique challenges that individuals are faced with, and to bring awareness to the idea that pain and comfort can coexist together when supportive networks are present.
