As of yesterday, I’ve officially started my next chapter as a first-year law student.
I’m pursuing my third doctorate — an Executive Juris Doctorate — specializing in health and criminal law.
No, I’m not planning to become a practicing attorney; I know that’s usually the first question.
My academic and professional path has always been shaped psychology, law, neuroscience, and public policy, and over time, it’s become clear that this is where I’ve found my calling: forensic neuropsychopathology.
My educational background includes:
* PhD in Public Policy Administration, specializing in Terrorism, Medication, and Peace
* PsyD in Psychology, specializing in Forensic Neuropsychopathology
* MS in Clinical Psychopharmacology
* MS in Criminal Justice
* MA in Psychology
* BA in Homeland Security
* AAS in Information Management
* Certificate in Private Investigation
* Certificate in Neuroscience and Neuroimaging
* Certificate in Forensic Neuropsychology
I’ve spent nearly 20 years teaching across criminal justice, homeland security, national security, and psychology, and much of my work has focused on how legal systems are linked with human behavior, mental health, neuroscience, and policy. How does this impact our national security interests and standards?
Many of you also know my three-volume series Forensic Neuropsychopathology: Clinical and Medical Insights into Brain Behavior, Mental Disorders, and the Legal System. My research has consistently been shaped by these overlapping disciplines.
This next step isn’t a shift — it’s an expansion. A way to deepen my understanding of the legal frameworks that underpin the work I already do, and to continue strengthening my scholarship in the relationship of all these fields.
Excited for what’s ahead.
