I am, currently, a PhD Fellow in the College of Social Work at the University of South Carolina. My community-based research focuses on the environment of Long Term Care, particularly residents who are younger and are experiencing severe and persistent mental illness.
Additionally, I am conducting research on the way in which Long Term Care employees cope with change and grief.
