Biography
After completing my doctoral degree in psychology, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in primary care and health psychology with the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. My clinical work with patients with chronic pain and training experiences with medical residents in this position led me to accept a position as Assistant Professor with the Department of Anesthesiology. From 2008 until 2013, I served as the Director of Education for the Department of Anesthesiology and assisted with ACGME accreditation, educational strategies, program and curriculum development, and faculty development. I also provided psychological evaluation and treatment to patients with chronic pain syndromes at the multidisciplinary Pain Management Center in the Department of Anesthesiology from 2008 until 2012. In 2012, I began a position within the Office of the Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Since that time I have served as an Academic Consultant and now assist students, residents, fellows, and faculty across the institution with teaching, learning, and academic development. In 2015, I became the Director of Academic Affiliations within the Office of the Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. In 2013, I was appointed as an Assistant Professor of Family Medicine. In 2014, I was promoted to Associate Professor of Family Medicine.
